Gather around, cinephiles, because it’s time to dive into the rollercoaster world of UK and Ireland’s box office! 🎬 Oh yes, the place where popcorn meets profit, and where ‘Bridget Jones’ rules the roost like a boss lady sipping her chardonnay.
Forget about 2024, darling, because February 2025 has arrived with a cinematic bang, raking in a whopping £100.7 million ($129.9 million). That’s a 20% jump compared to last year, according to Comscore. Looks like the Brits and the Irish have been busy munching on popcorn while watching their favorite flicks. 📈
Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy, you absolute star! Universal is riding high thanks to you, bringing in a staggering $49.6 million this month. 🏆 Not only did you surpass your 2004 cousin, The Edge Of Reason, but you’re also on your way to outshining the original Bridget Jones’s Diary and Bridget Jones’s Baby. With a 4.5-star exit poll rating and a 96% thumbs-up from the ladies, it’s clear who’s the queen of the box office. 👑
Meanwhile, swooping in at number two is Captain America: Brave New World with $20.8 million. Captain, you might be the new kid on the block, but you’ve already outdone Eternals and are nipping at the heels of Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania. The Marvel magic is alive and well! 🚀
In third place, we’ve got Dog Man from DreamWorks Animation, barking up $15.6 million. You’ve left The Garfield Movie in the dust and are closing in on The Wild Robot. Keep howling, Dog Man! 🐾
Mufasa: The Lion King, still roaring strong since December, has added another $4.1 million, bringing your total to $42.3 million. You’ve eclipsed The Incredibles and Shrek Forever After. Long live the king! 🦁
James Mangold’s A Complete Unknown, at number five, collected $3.6 million, now flirting with The Wolverine‘s numbers. Keep swinging, James! 🎸
Horror enthusiasts, say hello to The Monkey in sixth place with $3.1 million. It’s Black Bear’s fourth-biggest flick, and it’s monkeying around with the big boys. 🙈
Sonic The Hedgehog 3 is zooming past with $33.8 million, just a whisker behind its predecessor. Keep spinning, Sonic! 🌀
After some award-winning moments, The Brutalist pulled in $1.9 million, while Tim Fehlbaum’s September 5 followed closely at $1.8 million. Bravo! 👏
Closing out February, we have The Importance Of Being Earnest – NT Live 2025, earning a respectable $1.7 million. 🎭
Now, hold your horses for March! We’ve got an exciting lineup with Mickey 17, One Of Them Days, and Marching Powder, all ready to hit the screens on March 7. 🎉
Later on, prepare for Black Bag, In The Lost Lands, and Last Breath on March 14. Oh, and don’t miss Opus, marking Mark Anthony Green’s directorial debut. 🎥
As March marches on, it brings The Alto Knights and the much-anticipated live-action Snow White on March 21. 🏰
Finally, March wraps up with Novocaine, The Woman In The Yard, and A Working Man on March 28. Get ready for a cinematic feast! 🍿
The Moral of the Story? In the world of cinema, it’s all about the right mix of sequels, superheroes, and talking animals. If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em—or at least bring some popcorn! 🍿😄
