Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy has grossed more than $70 million worldwide, following its record-breaking opening weekend at the UK box office.
It's a decent result given that the movie was released straight-to-streaming in the US, given that the series hasn't been as big of a box-office draw in the US.
But its streaming release in the US might make you wonder whether you can watch Mad About the Boy at home in the UK too.
The movie sees Bridget (Renée Zellweger) head back on the dating scene, four years after the death of Mark Darcy (Colin Firth), with the support of her friends and her former lover Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant).
She finds herself torn between Roxster (Leo Woodall), who matches with her on Tinder after rescuing her from a tree, and Mr Wallaker (Chiwetel Ejiofor), who teaches her son at school.
If you want to find out who Bridget chooses, then we're here to help with all the ways you can watch Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy right now.

Is Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy streaming?
We've got good news and bad news as it depends where you live if you can watch Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy on a streaming service.
In the US, the new Bridget Jones movie has skipped a cinema release and has been released exclusively on Universal's streaming service Peacock, so if you're a Peacock subscriber, you can watch it right now at no extra cost.
Not a Peacock subscriber, but you live in the US? Then you can sign up to Peacock from $7.99 per month for its ad-supported plan. There's also an ad-free plan for $13.99 per month if you don't want interruptions.
There are also yearly offers for both plans with the ad-supported tier costing $79.99 per year and the ad-free tier costing $139.99 per year, giving you 12 months' subscription for the price of 10.
Unfortunately, Peacock doesn't exist in the UK any more, so you won't be able to stream Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy in the UK yet.
So how can you watch the new Bridget Jones movie in the UK right now? Funny you should ask.
How to watch Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy in the UK
Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy has been given an exclusive cinema release in the UK so that's the only way you can watch it right now.
Luckily, it's now out in cinemas nationwide so you can head to your favourite cinema today to see the new Bridget Jones movie.
This is also the case internationally (outside of the US) where Universal is giving the new movie an exclusive cinema release.
Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy will eventually be able to watch at home in the UK, but fans are in for a bit of a wait.
The new movie should be released on digital platforms to buy or rent around 45 days after its cinema release, so you're looking at around late March or early April.
While you wait, you can pre-order Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy from Prime Video and Apple TV in the UK to be able to watch it as soon as it's released.
It will then make its streaming debut on Sky Cinema and NOW in the UK, but Universal releases tend to take at least eight months to arrive on Sky, meaning it won't be until at least October.
Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy is out now in UK cinemas and is streaming exclusively on Peacock in the US.
