Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi’s latest steamy romance, Wuthering Heights, is poised to crush industry projections with the biggest 5-day opening for romances post-COVID. Directed by Emerald Fennell, the film is adapted from Emily Brontë’s 1847 novel of the same name. The film began its rollout this Friday, November 13, and is currently playing in over 78 overseas markets.
Wuthering Heights Box Office Performance So Far
According to Box Office Mojo, Wuthering Heights has collected $26.2 million worldwide. In North America, the movie grossed $11 million, below expectations. Internationally, it scored an impressive $15.2 million, including $9.5 million on Friday alone.
Wuthering Heights Box Office Summary
North America – 11 million
International – $15.2 million
Worldwide – $26.2 million
UK Records Second Biggest Warner Bros. Opening Day In Two Years
In the UK, Wuthering Heights grossed $3 million on Friday, marking Warner Bros.’ 2nd-largest opening day in the region in dollar terms over the last 2 years. It is just behind Superman, which opened to $3.6 million.
The film has also beaten Captain America: Brave New World’s $2.9 million Friday opening and Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy’s $2.6 million Thursday opening. Both films were released last Valentine’s Day week.
Industry Projections Eye $72–$87 Million Global Start
Industry projections estimate that Wuthering Heights will earn between $32 million and $37 million in North America over its three-day opening frame, $40 million to $50 million overseas, and $72 million to $87 million worldwide.
Christy Hall’s controversial 2024 romantic drama It Ends With Us, starring Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively, still holds the record for the highest first-weekend earnings worldwide post-COVID, with $80 million ($50 million from North America + $30 million internationally). If Wuthering Heights manages to earn the anticipated figures of $72 million to $87 million worldwide in the opening week, it will become the biggest post-COVID romance, surpassing It Ends With Us.
