The new movie Wuthering Heights became the number-one film in North America during the Presidents Day and Valentine’s Day weekend. The romantic movie earned $34.8 million in three days and may reach $40 million after the holiday Monday. The film stars Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi. Surveys showed that many audience members were women. The movie opened in more than 3,600 theaters and was the biggest opening of the year so far.
The film is also popular in other countries and may earn $42 million overseas. The movie cost about $80 million to make, but experts say the strong ticket sales are a good result for cinemas after a slow start to the year. Critics gave different reviews, but many people still watched the movie. More big movies will come soon, so theaters hope for future success.
