Summary
- Wuthering Heights surpassed $100 million worldwide in its first week.
- The film earned $114.1 million globally against an $80 million budget.
- It is projected to reach $150 million by the end of its second weekend.
Wuthering Heights has officially become 2026's first major box office success, grossing over $100 million worldwide in its initial week of release. Directed by Emerald Fennell, the steamy romance starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi garnered the largest opening weekend for a romance film in the post-COVID era.
The film has achieved a global total of $114.1 million against its $80 million budget. North America contributed $45.8 million, while international markets brought in $68.3 million from 76 territories.
With strong performance expected to continue, Wuthering Heights is on track to gross nearly $150 million by the close of its second weekend. This success is notable as the film has yet to be released in China and Japan, two significant markets.
Set against the backdrop of the Yorkshire moors, the film depicts the intense relationship between Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw. Both critics and audiences have responded favorably, with the film earning a 64% Tomatometer score and an 84% Popcornmeter rating.
