When it was announced that there was to be a fourth instalment of Bridget Jones, fans went wild and it looks like the film has been nothing but a sheer success with the Irish crowd.
Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy hit our screens on Valentine’s Day and many believe that this one is the best movie of them all.
While the story initially begins with heartache, with viewers learning that heart-throb Mark Darcey has died, the audience experiences a very modern and forward-thinking Jones, but her quirkiness remains.
Yes, it may be pushing 25 years since Bridget graced our screens, but the fourth film is just as loved as the first and has hit records in Irish cinemas with €763,000 made in the first weekend of its viewing.
Furthermore, according to Business Plus it went on to make an amazing €1.6million in its first week.
And it looks like it may just be the highest-grossing movie at the Irish box office this year. (Other movie makers, no pressure)
In the UK the movie did just as well with pre-sales beating the likes of the 2023 blockbuster movie Barbie.
Group sales director at cinema advertising company Pearl & Dean Ireland Cassandra Joyce spoke to the publication about the success stating, ‘It’s early days, but there’s no doubt that Mad About The Boy is already a big contender to be the box office hit of 2025 in Irish cinemas.’
‘If current trends continue, there’s every chance it could go on to become the most successful romantic comedy ever released in this country.’
