Bridget Jones’s Baby is on its way to becoming the top movie of the year in the country.
Fans are flocking to see Hollywood star Renee Zellweger at multiple screenings in cinemas across Ireland.
Everyone has fallen back in love with Bridget, the daffy diarist who is visibly older, almost wiser and accidentally pregnant by one of her two lovers.
The movie became the No 1 film across the world for the second week running.
This is despite its continued disappointing run in the US where it retained fourth place.
In the UK it has currently taken nearly $30m, just shy of its entire production budget.
However critics have claimed she is used walking billboard upon which an astonishing variety of merchandise and commodities are advertised.
Examples include the branded Clearblue pregnancy testing kit, a tube of Pringles, a £400 Diane von Furstenberg lace wrap-dress and Taittinger champagne
