Movie Monday: ‘Wuthering Heights’ Wuthers its Way to Height of Box Office, Best TV Shows to Binge Watch

There’s a strong wind blowing at the top of the box office. In fact, you might even call the spot wuthering.

Wuthering Heights proved that a movie doesn’t have to understand its source material to take first place at the box office. It swept in $34.8 million during its opening weekend in North America. Taking into account its international earnings, the Warner Bros. film brought in $82 million worldwide.

GOAT found itself “SGOAT,” or, the “Second Greatest of All Time.” If you equate “All Time” with “this weekend.” The animated movie munched down on $26 million in its debut weekend, floating this goat up to second place. Worldwide, the movie took home $47.6 million. Not too baaaaad.

Chris Hemsworth’s Crime 101 took the weekend’s bronze medal. Like our first two films, Crime 101 also debuted this week, thieving away $15.1 million from domestic audiences. Its global crime network brought in $29.8 million in total.

Send Help found itself drowning a little among the new wave of competition, sinking from first to fourth. That’s despite its earnings only falling by less than 1% from last weekend. It brought in $9 million stateside, which brings its domestic cume to $49.6 million and its worldwide total to $73.8 million.

Rounding out the top five was Solo Mio, which likewise took a hit in its placement on account of the new releases. It fell from its previous spot in second place, and its earnings, too, barely dropped—a mere 2.9%. This week, it married itself to $6.8 million. With no international numbers to calculate, its total earnings sit domestically at $18.5 million.

As for other new releases, Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die didn’t have the best luck nor much fun with audiences. It opened to $3.6 million and took seventh place. Who knows? Maybe time loop number 118 will procure better results.

Audiences gave Cold Storage the cold shoulder, too. It debuted in 14^th place by earning $1.1 million.
