The Weekend Round-up
The Girl on the Train brought Bridget Jones’s Baby’s three-week run at the top to an emergency stop as it opened with an impressive £7m. That figure includes £1.8m from previews on Wednesday and Thursday, but the Friday to Sunday total of £5.2m is a big improvement over Gone Girl’s £3.6m Friday to Sunday total almost exactly two years ago. That film had terrific holds over the following weeks to end on £22.6m, so The Girl on the Train will be hoping for a similar burn rate. Read more
Bridget Jones’s Baby made it three weeks in the top spot, adding £4.8m which brings its total to a hugely impressive £31.4m. That’s the best third weekend of any film this year and that makes it the ninth biggest film of 2016 so far. It will climb at least a few more place up that list before it’s done. Bridget Jones: The Edge Of Reason finished its run on £36m, and Bridget Jones’s Baby looks all set to beat that. Read more
