The return of Bridget Jones has earned the best box office opening ever for a romantic comedy in the UK and Ireland, according to Universal.
Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, Renée Zellweger's fourth film as the much-loved-yet-shambolic diarist, made £11.8m in its first four days after its release on Thursday.
