Sex And The City: 27 Million Opening Day!
http://www.deadlinehollywooddaily.com/satc/ ^ | May 31st, 2008 | Nikki Finke

"No. 1 Sex And The City truly shocked Hollywood pros by opening with a hanging-from-the-chandeliers $26.9 million from 3,285 theaters. The big question now is whether this staggering wanna-see among women for the HBO Films/New Line/Warner Bros female froth sustains through Saturday and Sunday showings so the weekend total can soar past $70M and maybe even $75M."

Nah. I suffered through those. They were nothing books by nothing writers I got on the remainder table at some book store. It has to be real bad for me to give up.

Do you want me to repeat your posts for you and the responses from others. Surely, you can read them for yourself.

My daughter went to see this movie last night. She said it stinks.

TPTB/the MSM seem to be falling all over themselves to declare this movie a huge hit. Wonder why.

I hope it falls off big and then tanks completely.

One day, so what. The numbers were pumped up by group viewing parties. There won’t be repeat business.

No. With the crap on TV, sometimes my wife and I play a game of, “how long can I bear to watch this.” Last week, it was that Howie Mandel game show...lasted ‘bout ten seconds.

Yeah, a lot of people got faked out by the re-runs. The actual show was really raunchy and the movie probably is just as skanky.

If you find out, let us know. That was just weird.

Dunno, but it looks like most of the posters on this thread agree with me that the original show was a sleazy strip-and-peep act, and that they too want this grossly over-hyped film to ultmately tank so that we won’t have to endure a sequel and more hype.

Nice job on selective reading and responding. My issue was your mistatement of the box office.

As far as you having to "endure" a sequel, does the SWAT team pick you up and make you watch the movie? If you don't like it don't go and you wont have to endure anything, except your own opinions.

Dallas.

The city with the second most per-capita women who undergo plastic surgery.

30% drop on Saturday. NOT a good sign.

I do like one thing I see in the commercials. Carrie gets so focused on her dream wedding she basically ignores the fact it's driving away the man she wants to marry. Unfortunately I doubt too many women, or the writers and producers, get the gist of what that has to say about her choices in life.

Then again, as near as I can tell she and her friends refer to her fiancee by a nickname chosen due to the size of his penis, so I doubt they are capable of grasping just how pathetic their lifestyle is.

We only have 2 plastic surgeons around here, actually in the whole county. The only women I know who have undergone any type of plastic surgery around here are the ones who have had reconstructive surgery after breast cancer, and several who have had breast reductions. Oh and I’m getting ready to too, but that’s to correct a major eye droop that is getting worse, something that is a remnant of the Bell’s Palsy I had 4 years ago (and it is a sight issue, not just looks). My slightly crooked smile, also a remnant of the Bell’s, is something I will keep. Funny, the differences in geography.

Me too! Getting rid of a good book is like giving away a good friend - I just can’t do it (much to my husband’s dismay.)

Imagine a town where “who did your breasts” is considered acceptable conversation between two women in a room full of men, and feeling them to compare hardness/firmness is not considered inappropriate.

That’s Dallas.

the opened it up on 3000 plus screens because it is not going to have staying power.

we sites like http://www.themoviespoiler.com give full synopsis so nobody has to pay money to find out the story. (not to mention the whole downloading phenomenon)

Of course now it is amazing how many morning am radio shows made bold statements of how only women are going to this.

This is what it is from day one. four women who act like promiscous homosexuals.
