Emerald Fennell’s dark and sweeping retelling of the classic gothic romance has taken the box office by storm. The Wuthering Heights Box Office Collection has officially crossed $92 million worldwide as of February 18, 2026 — making it the highest-earning film globally so far this year. The film stars Margot Robbie as the passionate Catherine Earnshaw and Jacob Elordi as the tormented Heathcliff, and has clearly struck a chord with audiences across the world.

The timing of the release played a major role in its success. Fennell’s team made a smart call by launching the film around Valentine’s Day and stretching into the Presidents’ Day holiday weekend — giving audiences the perfect reason to head to cinemas for a sweeping, emotional love story. The strategy paid off in a big way.

Here is the full worldwide earnings breakdown for Wuthering Heights, cumulative through February 18, 2026:

International markets have been the real engine of this film’s financial story. The movie performed especially well in the United Kingdom, where audiences responded strongly to its Yorkshire moors setting and deeply British source material. With $51 million already banked from international territories, the film is holding its own as a global commercial event — not just a domestic hit.

The Wuthering Heights Box Office Collection launched with a thunderous bang — pulling in $82 million worldwide across its opening four-day holiday frame. In North America alone, the film collected $40 million, easily outpacing its weekend competition. The animated film GOAT came in second with $32 million, while the thriller Crime 101 managed $17.8 million in third place.

That female audience statistic is significant. Industry watchers say it points to the kind of passionate, repeat-viewing audience that can sustain a film through multiple weeks — a key factor in long-term box office success.

Despite the exciting numbers, the road to real profitability is still being paved. Here is a clear look at the financial picture:

On the bright side, the film has already surpassed the total lifetime earnings of several of Robbie’s previous projects, including Babylon and Amsterdam. For an actress whose recent films have underperformed commercially, this feels like a significant and welcome turnaround.

The film has received a mixed-to-polarising response from critics, but audiences are clearly enjoying it far more than reviewers:

That 19-point gap between critics and audiences is telling. When moviegoers enjoy a film far more than critics do, it usually means strong word-of-mouth — and word-of-mouth is what keeps a film earning week after week. Wuthering Heights is showing exactly this pattern right now.

While the film will face new competition this weekend from the faith-based sequel I Can Only Imagine 2, it is expected to hold the number-one spot in several key European markets. The biggest growth is still ahead:

Once China opens, the Wuthering Heights Box Office Collection is widely expected to leap past the $130–140 million range. If international momentum holds and the China debut performs well, reaching the $170 million break-even point is well within reach by mid-March 2026.
