Why Margot Robbie’s “Wuthering Heights” Chose Theaters Over Netflix

Written by ,  at .

Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi’s "Wuthering Heights" adaptation, directed by Emerald Fennell, ignited a fierce bidding war between major studios. Despite Netflix’s record-breaking $150 million bid, Warner Bros. secured the project with an $80 million offer by promising a wide theatrical release and full-scale marketing, a move the Fennell preferred over a streaming debut. Fennell’s reputation as a creative force adds to the priority of artistic integrity that she is known to deliver.

The Shift Toward Theatrical Releases

It seems as though Amazon was also a strong contender, aligning with a growing trend of actors and directors prioritizing traditional cinema over streaming exclusivity for high-profile projects. This shift suggests that traditional cinema’s appeal is strengthening, even as Netflix remains a powerful player with unmatched reach. Analysts note that more filmmakers are favoring theatrical releases for high-profile projects, potentially signaling a broader industry trend. 

Robbie and Elordi’s Chanel No. 5 Campaign

Recently, Robbie and Elordi teamed up on a Chanel No. 5 campaign, boosting their public profiles ahead of the highly anticipated "Wuthering Heights," which starts production in early 2025. Their partnership highlights the appeal of two of today’s most in-demand actors.
