Wuthering Heights quotes in title

Hi

The new movie "Wuthering Heights" has its title

 enquoted on purpose. The movie's director and movie department has been clear that this is a stylistic choice that must be present in all communications about the movie.

So my question is if the IMDb title should also be updated, and if this can even be done since reporting "Wuthering Heights" (2016) with quotes on IMDb would convert the movie into a series entry. I think.

I was unable to mark Col Needham's response as the answer (it being a comment). His is obviously the correct, authoritative response so going to close this :).

Here is a movie listed with double quotes, so maybe it is possible somehow:

"Giliap" (1975)

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0073045/

Though to preserve the stylistic choice for “Wuthering Heights”, perhaps they ought to be ‘curly’ quotes :)

@Peter_pbn​  This is likely an error as quotes are considered exceptions to the on-screen-title rule.  This and Wuthering Heights (2026) should not have quotes in the IMDb title.

How about AKA/display titles? Also no, I guess.

@Peter_pbn​ It is certainly a extremely rare occurrence on IMDb. As of December 31, 2025, besides "Giliap" (1975), only three other films have their original titles enclosed in quotation marks:

Also, two other films, Onks Viljoo näkyny? (1988) and The Interview (2020) don't have quotes in their original titles, but their primary titles do ("Has Anyone Seen Viljo?" & "The Interview" respectively).

AKAs is a different story. There are many of them...

@ljdoncel​  I wonder if "Vinden blåser vart den vill" is also a mistake, since MUBI and other sources do not list it like that. :')

FYI, I had submitted the change Hurlevent to "Hurlevent" (with quotes) for the French AKA title (imdb display title) 4 days ago (not noticing that there was the same issue for the original title), but this was declined.

@ljdoncel​ Thanks; these have all been fixed and the changes should be live within the next 24 hours.
