Wuthering Heights Hits Box-Office Hurdle on Valentine’s Weekend

Warner Bros.’ edgy Brontë adaptation Wuthering Heights, starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, is projected to win the Valentine’s weekend but looks set to finish well behind early tracking. Friday’s $13.3 million opening and a four‑day forecast in the $33–40 million range contrast with Warner’s $40 million target, amid a B CinemaScore and mixed reviews (63% on Rotten Tomatoes, stronger PostTrak exit scores).
