"Wuthering Heights has ravished the global box office in its opening weekend, with the new Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie adaptation taking US$76.8m (56m, A$108m). Emerald Fennell's reimagining of Emily Bronte's novel made US$34.8m in the North American box office from 3,682 locations, making it the year's biggest opening so far. While this is lower than early projections of a $40m to $50m opening weekend in the US and Canada,"
"Internationally, Wuthering Heights passed predictions to make US$42m in 76 territories, with more men reportedly making up audiences outside North America, where PostTrak polling estimated 76% of ticket buyers were women. The romantic drama, starring Australians Robbie and Elordi as Catherine and Heathcliff, also performed strongly in Australia, where it made A$6.07m (US$4.3m) in its opening weekend, which Deadline attributed to the stars' home field advantage."
