19 Apr
Summary
- 'Dog Stars' must earn $241.3 million worldwide to surpass 'Wuthering Heights'.

- The post-apocalyptic film also stars Josh Brolin and is based on a 2012 novel.
Ridley Scott's new sci-fi film, "The Dog Stars," is slated for a U.S. theatrical release on August 28, 2026. Starring Jacob Elordi and Josh Brolin, the movie is set in a post-apocalyptic world. It follows a civilian pilot and an ex-marine navigating survival after a devastating virus.
For "The Dog Stars" to become Jacob Elordi's top-grossing film globally, it needs to surpass "Wuthering Heights." The latter, a romantic drama also starring Elordi, has already achieved an impressive box office performance.
"Wuthering Heights" ranks as the fifth-highest-grossing film of the year so far and is Elordi's highest earner to date. To outgross it, "The Dog Stars" must achieve a worldwide total of at least $241.3 million. Success will depend on strong domestic and international debuts, positive word-of-mouth, and sustained audience interest.
