The film broke box office records in Europe, grossing over 100 million US dollars.[3] Oplev decided to not continue directing the second and third parts of the Millennium Trilogy due to time constraints.

He directed Dead Man Down, a 2013 film starring Colin Farrell, Noomi Rapace, Dominic Cooper, Terrence Howard and F. Murray Abraham.[5]
He was at one point set to direct The Keep based again on the novel with the same name,[6] and Good People based on the novel by Marcus Sakey.[7]
