The film was released in November of 2003, where it proved to be a box office hit.

Over the past two decades, the film has become a holiday classic for many, and the film's success led to a short film sequel in support of Red Nose Day that dropped in 2017.

All these years later, Love Actually is something of a time capsule for its stars, many of whom have gone on to other major projects.
