A beloved classic adaptation like Wuthering Heights, starring Margot Robbie, was bound to spark conversation. But despite the hype, the movie managed a 64 percent rating on IMDb. And after an initial 66 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes, it later rose to 71 percent, hinting at divided opinions surrounding the film, written and directed by Emerald Fennell.

However, the Barbie actress is not losing sleep over this. Instead, she had an unfiltered and blunt response to the mixed reviews from the audience and critics.

After the premiere of Wuthering Heights, Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi sat down for a conversation with GQ Australia alongside Joel Edgerton. During the interview, she was asked whether she ever thinks about the audience while making a movie. The actor and producer did not hesitate to reveal that the audience is the only thing on her mind while filming, although critics are not part of that consideration.

“I consider audience always. I’ve never, ever been on set and thought, ‘What are the critics going to think of this?'” she said, as reported by Variety.

She added, "I’m like, ‘What’s an audience going to feel right now? What’s their emotional response going to be?’ I believe you should make movies for the people who are going to buy tickets to see the movies. It’s as simple as that.”

The actress might not have been wrong about her opinion as reported by Variety, as although Wuthering Heights got mixed reviews, it has done very well in box office. After a $38 million debut in North America, the movie has already raked in $88.5 million worldwide, as per Hollywood Reporter. And this number will continue to grow as more people talk about the movie.

She also went on to praise the director, Emerald Fennel, for her ideas for Wuthering Heights. Robbie has worked with Fennel's in Promising Young Woman and Saltburn as a producer. And all the movies have caused a stir for several different reasons.

But when it comes to Wuthering Heights, the movie has also invited both praise and criticism.

Wuthering Heights, starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, has been getting a lot of praise for its beautiful cinematography. From the bold costumes and awe-inspiring visuals to the powerful performances, many viewers have been impressed. But even as audiences continue to flock to theatres, some fans of Emily Brontë’s novel have been unhappy with how much the film is different from the novel.

Fans were not fond of the changes, such as Robbie’s age, which is different from that of teen Catherine in the book, or the removal of the entire second generation. Some viewers felt that the film had lost the emotional depth that made the novel so powerful. However, whether people love it or criticise it, they are still talking about Wuthering Heights.

And that kind of attention is perhaps what the film and Robbie might have wanted.
