The Dog Stars is still one week away from its theatrical release. The movie received mixed reviews from critics at its London premiere. The Ridley Scott movie features Jacob Elordi in a leading role, and this is his second major release of the year after Wuthering Heights. Therefore, the discussion begins whether it will outgross Wuthering Heights at the worldwide box office. Keep scrolling for the deets.
It also has a strong star cast, featuring Margaret Qualley, Guy Pearce, and Josh Brolin in supporting roles. Elordi is one of the most popular faces among the current generation of actors. However, he still needs a huge breakthrough to be in the same league as Timothee Chalamet and Tom Holland. But he has been taking on a variety of roles recently and earning praise for them as well.
How much did Wuthering Heights earn worldwide?
Wuthering Heights was released earlier this year and became a box-office success despite mixed reviews. The erotic period drama is based on Emily Brontë’s novel of the same name. Jacob Elordi appeared as Heathcliff opposite Margot Robbie‘s Catherine. According to Box Office Mojo, it collected $241.7 million worldwide during its original run and is currently #17 on the 2026 global chart.
How much does The Dog Stars need to outgross Wuthering Heights?
The Dog Stars has a big target to overcome to surpass Wuthering Heights worldwide. It would have to earn over $241.7 million to beat the Margot Robbie-starrer romance drama. It is not a huge target, but it might still seem like a challenge if the film fails to attract viewers. The movie will depend on strong word of mouth to succeed. There is little buzz around it, but it has some of the most acclaimed and successful actors, which is expected to boost its box office performance once it is in cinemas.
What is the film about?
The official synopsis reads, “Set after a devastating flu pandemic that has almost eradicated humanity, the film centers on Hig, a former civilian pilot, and Bangley, a hardened former Marine, as they confront outside threats and hold onto the possibility of a better life beyond where they currently live.” The Dog Stars starring Jacob Elordi will be released on August 28.
