Bridget Jones’s Baby comfortably held onto the number one spot at the UK box office with an excellent second weekend. Universal’s threequel dropped only 22% from its record-breaking opening with an outstanding $8.1m (£6.29m) for $27.2m (£21.07m) after ten days in play. It enjoyed a prosperous first Mon-Thurs as it took $8.7m (£6.7m) to dominate the market. Despite opening behind Bridget Jones: The Edge Of Reason, Baby has now overtaken the sequel, which stood at $26.7m (£20.69m) at the same stage and had previews included. You wouldn’t bet against it being at £25m before this coming weekend and going on to record a third straight week as the UK’s number one. Bridget Jones’s Diary’s $54.3m (£42m) result could well be an achievable target.

In its first full week of release, Bridget Jones’s Baby has nabbed top spot, claiming $3.68 million at the box office. Only just beating the film at no. 2, the Renee Zellweger flick has also reportedly yielded the lowest screen average (that is, the average amount earned across the number of screens/venues a movie is shown) for a new release at the top spot on the box office ladder since Alice Through The Looking Glass, which took $2.99 million in late May. The Secret Life Of Pets, previously at no. 1, has dropped – just – to second place, taking $3.51 million at the box office. This basically means that the top 3 places on this week’s box office ladder have done a bit of a cinematic shuffle, with Sully, previously at no. 2, taking third spot this week with $2.13 million.

Just when she thought she had her life all figured out, Bridget Jones finds herself blowing out her birthday candle alone, while sitting on the all too familiar sofa of her London flat. But it's not all doom and gloom for our favorite single gal, who now at 43 years of age, has transformed into a big shot producer of a live TV news segment and finally reached her "ideal weight". Twelve years since the last installment, Renee Zellweger returns to the much-beloved role of the clumsy, klutzy character with the somewhat relatable work-life woes. Only this time, Bridget is better equipped in the wardrobe department to reflect the more put-together woman she has become. After embracing her newfound hot spinster, or self-appointed "spilf" persona, Bridget is suddenly determined to end an extended dry spell. Unknowingly dragged to an outdoor music festival by her young news presenter friend Miranda (Sarah Solemani), she quickly finds herself in bed with a handsome American dating guru (Patrick Dempsey), whom she had just met while -- in true Bridget style -- facing down in the mud. Mere days later, she finds herself in bed with a man again, this time with former lover and newly single Mark Darcy (Colin Firth), who comes back even more perfectly as the posh and pedantic human rights lawyer.
