November 25, 2003 — "Love Actually" took in the most recorded for a British romantic comedy over the weekend.
The Yuletide tale starring Hugh Grant piled up 6.6 million pounds in sales over the weekend, a bigger haul than hits "Bridget Jones's Diary" or "Notting Hill" achieved over their first three days in the UK.
Directed by Richard Curtis, who wrote both "Bridget Jones" and "Notting Hill," "Love Actually" revolves around eight couples frantically sorting out their love lives during the week before Christmas in London.
The film also stars actors Emma Thompson, Liam Neeson, Colin Firth and Bill Nighy.
Dropping to number two on the chart was "The Matrix Revolutions," which took 1.16 million pounds over the weekend, brining its total UK takings to more than 15 million pounds.
