The studio won a competitive bidding war for Emerald Fennell's film, ensuring a global theatrical release.

Warner Bros. has acquired the rights to produce a new adaptation of Emily Brontë's classic novel 'Wuthering Heights,' directed by Oscar-winner Emerald Fennell.
Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi are set to star in the film, with Robbie's production company LuckyChap collaborating with MRC for financing.
The film adaptation was highly sought after, with Netflix offering a significant bid, but Warner Bros.' commitment to a wide theatrical release was decisive.
This project marks the second collaboration between Fennell, MRC, and LuckyChap, following the successful release of 'Saltburn.'
Warner Bros. executives expressed enthusiasm for Fennell's vision, emphasizing the film's potential to capture the novel's intense emotions and aesthetic.
