The famous line, ‘I haven’t broken your heart – you’ve broken it, and in breaking it, you’ve broken mine,’ resonates as Wuthering Heights returns to the screen. Emily Brontë’s classic novel has been adapted for film and television over 50 times, but this new version, directed by Emerald Fennell (known for Killing Eve and Saltburn), feels particularly promising thanks to its stars. Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, playing Catherine and Heathcliff, have generated a lot of excitement by publicly praising each other’s work during interviews and promotional events.
The movie Wuthering Heights had its first showing in Los Angeles on January 28, 2026, and was released in theaters nationwide on February 13. It remains to be seen whether the film successfully portrays the book’s central ideas of love, revenge, and obsession, along with its Romantic and Gothic atmosphere. If you don’t mind waiting and didn’t see it in theaters, you can expect it to become available for rental on demand and on HBO Max eventually, but the exact date is still unknown.
When Will ‘Wuthering Heights’ be Available on HBO Max?
Warner Bros. Pictures
The upcoming film, Wuthering Heights, is being made by MRC, Lie Still, and LuckyChap Entertainment, but Warner Bros. will handle its release. After playing in theaters, the movie will be available to stream only on HBO Max. This is because both Warner Bros. and HBO Max are owned by the same company, Warner Bros. Discovery. However, the future of this arrangement is uncertain, as Netflix is set to acquire the studio.
Warner Bros. films typically become available on HBO Max around 10 weeks after their theatrical release. For instance, A Minecraft Movie started streaming on June 20, 2025, about two and a half months after it first hit theaters on April 4. The film Sinners, released in 2025, followed the same timeline, appearing on HBO Max in July, roughly 10 weeks after its April 18 theatrical debut. Similarly, Final Destination Bloodlines began streaming on HBO Max on August 1, approximately two and a half months following its initial release in theaters.
Although HBO Max hasn’t announced a specific date, Wuthering Heights is expected to become available for streaming around April 3, 2025. This estimate is based on the typical release schedule for Warner Bros. films, which usually appear on HBO Max on Fridays a few months after their theatrical release.
When Will ‘Wuthering Heights’ be Available on PVOD?
Warner Bros.
Like most big movies these days, Wuthering Heights will first be available to rent or buy online through streaming services once it’s released for home viewing. Based on how Warner Bros. has released films in the past, it usually takes about a month to six weeks from the theatrical release for a film to become available on these streaming platforms.
The horror film Final Destination: Bloodlines became available for digital purchase (PVOD) about a month after its May 16 theatrical release, on June 17. While Sinners, another Warner Bros. horror movie, premiered in theaters on April 18 but wasn’t available digitally until June 3 – over six weeks later. This longer wait was unusual and happened because of a lot of excitement surrounding the film. Most other movies have followed a more typical four-week release window.

Despite doing well in theaters, James Gunn’s Superman was available to rent or buy digitally after just 35 days. This quick release was a deliberate move by the studio to build excitement for the new season of Peacemaker and leverage the film’s success.
If Wuthering Heights follows the release schedule of other 2025 films, it will likely be available to rent or buy digitally on March 17th, as most new movies become available on Tuesdays. Now the question is, where will you be watching this classic love story?
