Netflix Lost Margot Robbie’s ‘Wuthering Heights’ to Warner Bros. Despite $150 Million Offer — Has the Streamer Lost Its Dealmaking Mojo?


As Margot Robbie's 'Wuthering Heights' goes to Warner Bros., Netflix grapples with filmmakers opting for theatrical release over giant paychecks.

But in a sign of the turning tide, the “Wuthering Heights” filmmakers, led by producer Robbie, opted for Warners film chiefs Michael De Luca and Pamela Abdy’s pitch for a wide theatrical release and a full marketing campaign. With “Barbie” star Robbie having bypassed Netflix on “Wuthering Heights,” Gerwig has renewed leverage and is in discussions to see “Narnia” receive an Imax run when it is released in 2026. All the while, talent continues to navigate a leadership change at Netflix that saw Scott Stuber step down as film chief and Dan Lin fill the post.
