Margot Robbie’s New Movie Becomes Her First Since Barbie To Hit Huge Global Box Office Milestone

by

Wuthering Heights continues to soar.

Emerald Fennell’s new film, Wuthering Heights, based on Emily Brontë’s classic novel, recently reached a significant box office achievement. Starring Margot Robbie as Catherine Earnshaw and Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff, the movie opened over Valentine’s Day weekend and earned $32.8 million domestically over three days, making it the highest-grossing domestic debut of 2026 to date.

I’m so thrilled to see Wuthering Heights doing so well! As of this morning, it’s expected to reach a total of $151.7 million worldwide by the end of its second weekend in theaters. That’s $60 million domestically and another $91.7 million internationally. What’s really exciting is that it’s the first film starring Margot Robbie since Barbie to cross that $150 million mark globally – a huge achievement!

Only 11 films starring Margot Robbie have earned over $150 million at the box office, starting with The Wolf of Wall Street in 2013, which grossed $389.8 million. Before Barbie came out in July 2023, the last movie to reach that milestone was The Suicide Squad in 2021, earning $168.7 million worldwide.

Thanks to the success of Wuthering Heights, Robbie has overcome the disappointing performance of his 2025 film, A Big Bold Beautiful Journey. That movie, a romantic fantasy, earned only $20.2 million worldwide despite costing $45 million to make.
