So is the Valentine's Day smash Wuthering Heights, and the spring lineup looks promising, with everything from a new Pixar comedy to a Michael Jackson biopic, to the sci-fi thriller Project Hail Mary about a reluctant astronaut, plus The Devil Wears Prada 2, a big-screen finale for Peaky Blinders, and the first Star Wars film in seven years.
