Bridget Jones continues to captivate audiences after three decades, initiated as a clever commentary on women's culture by Helen Fielding. The latest film, "Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy," was only available through streaming in the U.S., but had a global box office over $140 million and received an Emmy nomination. Producer Eric Fellner revealed that the distribution method increased viewership for the latest installment, reigniting excitement for the franchise. Renée Zellweger has persistently portrayed Bridget, showcasing her lasting appeal across four films.
"Four films, four books, and three decades since her creation, and the marvelous Ms. Bridget Jones still endures...the utterly indefatigable rom-com queen has done it all."
"...over $140 million internationally...and awards attention (again, Emmy nomination!)."
"We're actually pretty pleased, because I think more people have seen it because of the way it's been distributed than they might have done if it had gone into cinemas."
"It's generated a whole new excitement for people revisiting the other three films. In terms of the longevity of the franchise, I think it's been a really good move."
