‘Bridget Jones’s Baby’ FLOPS in the Box Office

Date:

Bridget Jones’s Baby flops in the box office.

Atlanta filmed biographical drama Sully continues to dominate in its second weekend at the U.S. box office, while new offerings Blair Witch and Bridget Jones’s Baby, both came in well behind predictions with $9.7 million and $8.2 million, respectively.

Bridget Jones’s Baby featured Renee Zellwegger with Colin Firth and introducing Patrick Dempsey to the series. The filmmakers hoped the movie would earn $17.9 million respectively. Unfortunately, it would not live up to the previous installments. In fact, Bridget Jones Diary earned $290 million worldwide.

Bridget Jones’s Baby cost $35 million to make, according to reports. It did extremely well in the U.K. with a record-breaking $11.3 million, the biggest launch ever for a romantic comedy. However, it was a long way away from the original feature film.

Meanwhile, Snowden, starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt as infamous NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, wasn’t as much of a disappointment in debuting to $8 million. It is expected to become the smallest movie opening in Oliver Stone’s career for a movie opening in more than 2,000 theaters.
