The Journey of 'Wuthering Heights': A Box Office Tale of Love and Legacy

Theatrical Conclusion of 'Wuthering Heights'

The theatrical release of "Wuthering Heights" has officially wrapped up in North America after a month-long run, marking its exit from the box office on its eighth Thursday. While the film is gradually disappearing from local theaters, it continues to be shown in select international locations. Its journey has attracted attention due to a blend of mixed reviews and box office results.

As reported by trade analyst Luiz Fernando, the film concluded its North American box office journey with a modest $8,000 on its final Thursday, bringing its domestic earnings to $84 million. This impressive total ranks it as the sixth-highest-grossing film in the U.S. for 2026. The period drama, featuring notable performances from Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, has also seen success overseas, accumulating $156.4 million in international markets.

With a total global revenue of $240.4 million, "Wuthering Heights" is expected to finish its worldwide run just shy of the $250 million milestone. Nevertheless, it stands as the fifth-highest-grossing film of 2026 and claims the title of the highest-grossing romantic drama of the year. The film delves into the intense and tumultuous romance between Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw, set against the evocative backdrop of the Yorkshire moors.

Having premiered in North America on February 13, "Wuthering Heights" has ignited conversations regarding its artistic take on the original material. As it exits the North American box office, it leaves behind a legacy marked by both critical discourse and commercial achievement, underscoring the lasting allure of Brontë's story in modern cinema.
