Sex and the City hasn't been a "must see" film for me this summer, but I likely will see it soon. It does please me to see a chick flick rake in the kind of box office normally reserved for teenage boy aimed films. Let's hear it for the girls! It's been getting good reviews, even 3 and a 1/2 stars from the Chicago Tribune.
Variety reports: Warner Bros. and New Line's feature adaptation of former HBO TV series "Sex and the City" grossed a whopping $26.9 million Friday from 3,285 theaters on the strength of women, by far the best opening day ever for a romantic comedy and the sort of gross usually reserved for male-driven tentpoles or family fare.
Friday's gross is the third highest ever for an R-rated pic, slotting behind previous Warner Bros. tentpoles such as 2003's "The Matrix Reloaded" ($42.5 million) and 2007's "300" ($28.1 million).
"Sex and the City" overpowered Memorial Day weekend holdover "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull."
