Bridget Jones's return to the big screen delivers a box office boost for French media giant Canal+
Canal+ says business has been boosted by box office hits including the latest Paddington and Bridget Jones films. The French production company, which was spun out of Vivendi in December when it listed on the stock market in London, said first-quarter revenues rose 1.5 per cent to £1.3billion. Its film studios arm saw revenues rise 8.2 per cent thanks to the release of films including Paddington In Peru, Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy and We Live In Time. Canal+ shares edged up 0.5 per cent. But they remain down nearly 24 per cent since listing in London at 290p each in December. Boss Maxime Saada hailed 'a pivotal year' in 2024 and said 'we continued to build on this momentum' in 2025. He added: 'A number of highly successful theatrical releases substantially fuelled revenue.'

Singer Olivia Dean hopes to write music for the next James Bond film
Singer Olivia Dean has said she would like to write music for the next James Bond film. The neo-soul singer, 26, who wrote the song It Isn't Perfect But It Might Be for the Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy soundtrack, is hoping to be behind the next hit 007 song. The Dive singer told BBC's The One Show: 'I've never made a song before that's, like, not from my own perspective. I very much chronicle my own emotions. Singer-songwriter Olivia Dean reflects on her biggest inspirations… 🥹#TheOneShow 👉 — BBC The One Show (@BBCTheOneShow) March 28, 2025 'So it was quite fun to get into the Bridget Jones character. She's a very classic icon for me. And it was really fun. I loved it. 'I'd love to do it again. Next I'd like to do Bond. If they'll have me, I will do it.' US singer Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas O'Connell wrote the Bond song for No Time To Die, which picked up an Oscar in 2022. British singer Adele received an Academy Award for her song Skyfall, which featured in the 2012 film. Dean's bid to write the theme tune comes amid speculation surrounding who will play the beloved spy, with concerns that he will not be British after Amazon MGM Studios took creative control of the franchise. In February, the US film and television production and distribution studio announced it will be co-owners of the franchise with Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, who have produced the Bond films together since 1995's GoldenEye. It has now been revealed that Amy Pascal and David Heyman will produce the next film in the Bond series – with further details yet to be announced. Dean's debut album Messy made it to number four on the UK album charts and was nominated for the Mercury Prize. She also won the BBC Introducing Artist Of The Year Award 2023 and received three Brit nominations in 2024. Dean made her Pyramid Stage debut at Glastonbury Festival in June 2024.
