Margot Robbie's Divisive Blockbuster: $236M Film Hits Digital This Week!

Margot Robbie, a formidable presence in contemporary cinema, has swiftly cemented her status as one of the world's most popular and talented actors. Early in her career, she garnered two Academy Award nominations: her first in 2017 for her powerful portrayal in Craig Gillespie's ice-skating drama I, Tonya, and a second just two years later for her role in the controversial thriller Bombshell. More recently, Robbie received a Best Picture nomination for her work as a producer on Barbie, a film where many fans felt her performance as the titular character was also Oscar-worthy, a sentiment underscored by her co-star Ryan Gosling's nomination for his role as Ken. Beyond her critically acclaimed performances, Robbie's iconic roles in The Wolf of Wall Street and multiple appearances as Harley Quinn have further solidified her widespread recognition.

Adding to her busy year, Robbie recently starred opposite Jacob Elordi in Wuthering Heights, the latest cinematic adaptation of Emily Brontë’s timeless novel. This iteration of the classic tale was both written and directed by Emerald Fennell, who also served as a producer alongside Robbie, Tom Ackerley, and Josey McNamara. Robbie brought the character of Catherine Earnshaw to life, with Elordi taking on the role of Heathcliff.

Despite earning scores of 57% from critics and a more favorable 76% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, Wuthering Heights proved to be a commercial success, grossing over $230 million at the box office against an $80 million budget. The film, categorized as an R-rated drama romance with a runtime of 136 minutes, initially had a listed release date of February 13, 2026, but has recently become available to a wider audience.

Warner Bros. announced that Wuthering Heights is now accessible on various digital platforms, including Prime Video and Apple TV, effective immediately. Enthusiasts can also look forward to its release on home media formats such as Blu-ray and DVD starting May 5. In celebration of its digital launch, Collider partnered with Warner Bros. to exclusively preview a new clip from the film.

Jacob Elordi's career is also on a significant upswing, with 2026 shaping up to be a pivotal year. He earned his first Oscar nomination for his performance in Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein. Additionally, Elordi is set to return to the big screen later this year in Ridley Scott's new sci-fi movie, The Dog Stars, which was delayed from a March to an August release. Fans can also anticipate his return to HBO Max in just a few weeks, as the long-awaited third season of Euphoria is scheduled to begin streaming on April 13, marking over four years since the last episode aired.

The collaborative efforts and individual successes of Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi continue to captivate audiences and shape the landscape of contemporary cinema. From critically acclaimed dramas to box office hits, their contributions underscore their lasting legacies and ongoing impact in the film industry.
