*This post from late September forgot to be posted and as has been a draft till now*
"The residual affection for endearingly self-sabotaging singleton Bridget Jones meant it was always likely that a large audience would show up on opening weekend, which it did, resulting in an impressive UK debut . What happened next was always going to be harder to call – word-of-mouth would play a big factor in Bridget Jones’s Baby’s continued fortunes.
On the evidence so far, that audience word is very warm.
UK debut: £8.11m
Monday-to-Thursday period: £6.65m
seven-day total: £14.77m. Next, Baby
second weekend: declined of 20%; £6.45m
10-day tally: of £21.22m."
The film is already ahead of the total gross of summer blockbusters such as X-Men: Apocalypse (£18.35m), Star Trek Beyond (£15.95m) and Independence Day: Resurgence (£12.10m) and it said to "soon overtake Jason Bourne"
But its most special status has been announced by Universal as "the highest grossing film ever released in September in the UK", surpassing hits from previous Legend (£18.3m), Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (£14.2m) and Looper (£10.2m).
"In the US, takings for Bridget Jones’s Baby are a disappointing $16.6m, but foreign takings are surging ahead with $67.4m so far, boosted by big numbers in the UK and Australia. Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason grossed $40m in the US and $222m in foreign. Bridget Jones’s Diary saw less of a disparity, although foreign ($210m) far exceeded the US total ($72m)."
