Bridget Jones Returns: 'Mad About the Boy' Poised for Box Office Success

The fourth Bridget Jones film, featuring new and returning stars, is set for a record-breaking UK release but skips US cinemas for streaming.

Renée Zellweger reprises her iconic role as Bridget Jones, now navigating life as a widowed mother of two in the fourth installment of the series.
Hugh Grant returns as Daniel Cleaver, while Colin Firth appears in a limited capacity as Mark Darcy after the character’s off-screen death.
The film introduces new characters, including love interests played by Chiwetel Ejiofor and Leo Woodall, adding fresh dynamics to the story.
UK pre-sales for 'Mad About the Boy' have surpassed major blockbusters like 'Barbie,' with analysts predicting it will be the biggest British film of early 2025.
Despite its strong UK box office potential, the film will skip US cinemas and debut directly on the streaming platform Peacock.
