Wuthering Heights Nears $200 Million Worldwide, Edges Within $1 Million of The Shape of Water

A strong Warner Bros. theatrical rollout has turned Emerald Fennell’s polarizing adaptation into a rare adult‑drama box‑office climber.

Overview

  • The film’s worldwide gross has reached about $194.3 million, including $72.7 million in North America and $121.6 million overseas as of early March.
  • At roughly $194 million worldwide against a reported $80 million budget, analysts’ 2.5x rule places break-even near $200 million, now less than $10 million away.
  • With The Shape of Water at $195.2 million globally, Wuthering Heights sits roughly $1 million short of surpassing the 2017 Best Picture winner’s lifetime total.
  • The run has already topped the lifetime global grosses of Unforgiven (about $160 million) and Road to Perdition (about $183 million).
  • After a $32.8 million No. 1 domestic debut, the film has held steadier business despite newer releases like GOAT and Scream 7, and it continues to draw interest despite a 58% Rotten Tomatoes score.
