UPDATE: “Wuthering Heights” has been dated for release on February 13, 2026 by Warner Bros. If the film turns out to be great, don’t be surprised if it gets an awards qualifying run in late 2025. I just can’t see Warners dumping this one in February.
EARLIER: Here’s The InSneider, with another fascinating read on Warner Bros. shakeup of their 2025 calendar. We now “can safely bet” that Emerald Fennell’s “Wuthering Heights” will arrive in “late 2025.”
“Wuthering Heights,” which stars Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie, is supposed to be shot during the first quarter of 2025. It’s now being sped up by Warner Bros for release during the thick of next year’s awards season calendar.
We don’t know if Fennell’s version of “Wuthering Heights” is set in the present day, or maintains the novel’s 17th Century English setting. What seems to be the lure here is Fennell having just directed “Promising Young Woman” and “Saltburn” back-to-back; not to mention the enticing presence of Robbie and Elordi.
One thing’s for certain, and that’s the level of interest for the project, which sparked a bidding war amongst many studios in September. Netflix bid well over $150M to nab Fennell’s film, but she wanted a robust theatrical rollout and finally settled, for $70M less, with Warner Bros.
Still no distributor for "Bucking Fastard," "Alpha Gang," "The Last Photograph," "Closing Night," and "The Life and Deaths of Wilson Shedd." The issue seems to be quality more than a lack of willingness to buy.
