Fortunately, it seems this is also the case for Absolutely Fabulous, the newly-released movie version of which has just scored the biggest UK opening since latest Bond outing Spectre.
Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie reunites the two as hard-drinking fashionistas Edina and Patsy.
Such is the film’s success that it currently stands as distributor Fox Searchlight’s biggest film of all time.
With opening weekend takings of £4 million, the film’s stars – Joanna Lumley, Jennifer Saunders and about 57 celebrity cameos – can all breathe easy knowing the film is a huge hit.
