How to watch Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy – is it streaming?

The movie – which sees Bridget navigate motherhood and a new chapter of her life – garnered $15.5m, (£12.3m) in its first weekend alone, beating Marvel's first release of 2025, Captain America: Brave New World, and surpassing the $13.4 million debut of 2004’s Bridget Jones: The Edge Of Reason.

Along with the humour that Bridget Jones is always filled with, fans can also expect tears, with actress Renée Zellweger previously telling RadioTimes.com one aspect of the film she found "surprisingly sad".

"Several times, all in one day, we'd sort of swing from one extreme to the other in the different scenes that might be paired on the schedule," she explained.

"It was interestingly emotional for different reasons, because the content of the material is quite touching and sad at times, but also because some of the characters are going away.

"And that was a sad thing to have to accept, even as an actor, because this means no longer continuing the journey with a really dear friend.

"And that was really surprisingly sad, you know. But ultimately, I think it's more hopeful than anything."
