This film which is also based on a bestselling novel has managed to come in £2 million higher despite reviews not being as favourable.
After 3 weeks at the top is it time for Bridget Jones's Baby to surrender the top spot and with a £2.9 million weekend falls to number 2.
The film cant be too sorry for itself as it has grossed £37.8 million so far and at the current pace will most likely become the most successful of the series.
