‘Wuthering Heights’ living up to the hype, No. 1 second Friday in a row



The “Heights” are living up to the hype.

“Wuthering Heights” was No. 1 at the box office again, raking in $4.6 million on Friday, its second in theaters, according to The Numbers.

The highly anticipated romantic drama loosely based on the 1847 Emily Brontë novel, stars Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, whom The Post said “are so hot, they self-combust.”

Remaining in second place was “GOAT,” with $3.86 million in revenue.

The animated sports comedy features Golden State Warriors’ star Stephen Curry — who lends his voice to a supporting role — in his film debut.

The Christian biopic “I Can Only Imagine 2” took third, with sales of $3.75 million. The film, based on Bart Millard, the frontman of the Christian band MercyMe, stars Dennis Quaid, Milo Ventimiglia and Arielle Kebbel.

In fourth was “How to Make a Killing,” with an over $1.6 million take.

The Post called the black comedy thriller “merely fine in the first half and then unappetizingly somber and sluggish toward the end,” and its star, Glen Powell, “so unassuming you barely notice he’s there.”

In fifth was “Crime 101,” down two notches from last Friday, which earned just over $1.5 million.
