Audiences divided over Wuthering Heights remake: spectacle vs. substance

Readers and critics react to Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights film with praise for its visual flair and soundtrack but fault its emotional depth and fidelity to Brontë’s novel, noting changes like merged characters and the suppression of Nellie’s narration; some see it as a bold reinterpretation that sparks discussion, while others view it as a misfire that leans into modern spectacle at the expense of the book’s intensity.

Wuthering Heights Roars to Global Box Office Lead as GOAT Debuts

Wuthering Heights leads the global box office with $82 million (roughly $42M overseas and $40M in North America) in its debut, while Sony’s GOAT opened to $47.6 million worldwide; the Warner Bros. remake—starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi and produced on an $80 million budget—looks to strong international legs to offset costs, with early overseas leaders including the UK, Italy and Australia, and major markets like China and Japan still to open; Crime 101 followed with about $12 million from 60 markets.

Wuthering Heights Sees Global Bow, While GOAT Roars in the U.S.

Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi’s Wuthering Heights is tracking to an $82 million worldwide launch, with a strong domestic weekend but risk of missing the $40 million four-day target after a Saturday that brought in $14.4 million and a three‑day total of $34.8 million. GOAT, Sony’s animation featuring Stephen Curry, is outperforming expectations with a possible $32 million domestic four‑day debut and a $42 million global start, threatening WH’s U.S. box-office lead. WH’s critics score sits at 63% on Rotten Tomatoes with an 84% audience score, while GOAT earns an A CinemaScore; marketers aimed at older women and younger viewers helped drive the four‑day plan.

Wuthering Heights Reimagined: Robbie’s Cathy and Elordi’s Heathcliff Through Hair and Prosthetics

The piece explains how Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights uses Margot Robbie’s Cathy and Jacob Elordi’s Heathcliff to tell the story via transformative hair, makeup and prosthetics—Robbie with 35+ Cathy looks, freckles and era-specific wigs; Elordi shifts from a dirty, bearded “Jesus Elordi” to a slick, Darcy-inspired Heathcliff with a hand-laid beard and a gold-tooth prosthetic—plus ‘vagina plaits’ and other motifs. The look development, including tests against wind/rain, spanned a 51‑day shoot and was designed to convey jealousy, longing and tragedy, with Robbie even keeping her hair unwashed for a key scene.

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). Presales were strong, but walk‑ups are softer than expected. Internationally, a $40 million global start is anticipated for about an $80 million worldwide debut, while rival releases GOAT and Crime 101 shape the holiday box office landscape.
