'Wuthering Heights' Debuts at No. 1 at Box Office
Emerald Fennell's 'Wuthering Heights' earned $38.4 million in U.S. theaters with strong audience approval despite mixed critic reviews and casting controversies.
- On Valentine's Day weekend, Emerald Fennell's adaptation ranked number one, earning $38.4 million in the U.S. and hitting $82 million globally, matching its budget.
- Ahead of release, critics and scholars challenged the casting, with social media criticism and a 63 percent Rotten Tomatoes score dividing opinions.
- Starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, the release helped drive ticket sales, while audiences scored the film 81 percent on Rotten Tomatoes and Charli XCX's soundtrack dropped on Friday.
- Including the holiday Monday, the film could reach $40 million, but it missed the $50 million pre-release projection, highlighting the importance of early momentum against a typical week-over-week decline benchmark.
- Major international rollouts on February 27 in Japan and Vietnam and on March 13 in China, plus word-of-mouth later this month, will be key to expanding grosses.
