Los Angeles: "Wuthering Heights," Emerald Fennell’s adaptation of the classic Emily Bronte novel, charmed moviegoers in North America over the four-day US holiday weekend, raking in $40m, industry estimates showed yesterday.
The film, starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi as Cathy and Heathcliff, features original songs from Charli XCX, and has especially connected with women, experts said.
“This is an outstanding opening for a romance film. The weekend figure is four times the average for the genre,” said analyst David A. Gross of Franchise Entertainment Research.
