Rebecca Rubin Senior Film and Media Reporter “Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy” is nearing a sweet box office benchmark with the fourth installment in the love-struck film franchise about to surpass $75 million overseas. “Bridget Jones 4,” starring Renée Zellweger as the titular heroine, added a solid $19.2 million over the weekend from 73 international markets for a tally above $71 million.

Those ticket sales are higher than the three prior “Bridget Jones” films as well as 2022’s Julia Roberts and George Clooney-led “Ticket to Paradise” at the same point in their theatrical cycles, according to distributor Universal Pictures.

The $50 million-budgeted film debuted on Peacock in the United States. For context, 2001’s “Bridget Jones’s Diary” earned $262 million internationally while its sequels, 2004’s “Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason” and 2016’s “Bridget Jones’s Baby” generated $224 million and $187 million overseas, respectively.

Meanwhile, “Ticket to Paradise” earned $100 million overseas. With all of these romantic-comedies, foreign ticket sales accounted for at least 60% and as much as 89% of overall revenues.
