A similar action was taken with the 1922 film Nosferatu, but prints of the film survived.
I would wager that the current work will also avoid destruction.
"Even with several details altered, Stoker's heirs sued over the adaptation, and a court ruling ordered all copies of the film to be destroyed. However, several prints of Nosferatu survived, and the film came to be regarded as an influential masterpiece of cinema and the horror genre."
