All in all, in this age of “blockbusters,” $27 million ain’t that great. The Spiderman movies took in over $50 million their opening weekends, and Indian Jones is closing in on $400 million.

Am I the only one in America who never saw so much as one episode of this series?

The problem they may have is that summer blockbusters rely on repeat business, and the demo of Skanks in the City is not one known for repeat viewing in theaters.

I expect a strong opening weekend and a pretty quick dropoff.

That's an obscene profit for two hours of celluloid of a bunch of people standing around talking. Someone should slap a windfall profits tax on the studio that released the film.

Roughly $8200 per screen. At an average ticket price of $10 (which is probably way low), that would be 820 people per theater. Not so good, really.

Doubtful it'll hold on. Depend on how many teenagers go see it today. Yesterday was probably the day all the working ladies saw it after work.

It's slightly surprising, but not really so because when Sex and the City was running on HBO it was one of the most popular shows on that premium cable network, with a huge, extremely dedicated female viewship.

As revealed and observed on another thread, this soap opera is written by pederasts who use women as standins for homosexual men. This is a common literary device (see Tennessee Williams), and it helps to know it to make sense when analyzing it. I bet the series is a hit in college ‘gender studies’, or whatever the fag oriented courses are called.

Expect a sequel of SATC. YUCK!! Even worse this movie has a great chance of beating Prince Caspain in domestic box office.
American Public:
SATC: Materialistic Sluts: Yes
Prince Caspain: Uplifting story about faith and fighting evil: No

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.

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.

Heh. Although Sex opened at number one on Friday, Indy is already back on top and will take the weekend, if Mojo’s numbers hold.

$27 million dollars spent by shallow, vapid admirers of clueless, self-absorbed whores.
