The film, starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi as the doomed lovers Cathy and Heathcliff, features original songs from Charli XCX, and has especially connected with women over the Valentine's Day and Presidents' Day holiday, experts said. "This is an outstanding opening for a romance film. "This is an excellent opening for a family animation picture, at well above average levels for a single-episode film," Gross said, noting positive reviews. Amazon MGM's heist thriller "Crime 101," starring Chris Hemsworth, Halle Berry and Mark Ruffalo, landed in third place with $17.8 million, Exhibitor Relations reported. And in fifth place was Angel Studios rom-com "Solo Mio" starring comedian Kevin James as a groom left at the altar in Italy.
