Sex and the City stuns at the box office

Files under Film | Posted by Justin |

In what might categorize for the most bizarre film news of the year, was not only the number one film this weekend, but by a long shot.  Taking in an estimated $55.7 million, Sex trounced and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull in its second weekend.

Sure, it was Indy’s second weekend of release, but still most analysts predicted a bigger weekend for Indy after its record-setting debut last week.  Instead, Sex showed everyone the meaning of “women power” by outpacing Indy by $9 million.  Even the distributor, Warner Brothers, only expected around $30 million for the TV-to-film transition.  What does this mean for the movie industry?

Well, first of all expect to see many more “women power” movies green lighted soon.  Despite recent bombs such as Because I Said So, Hollywood can’t resist the urge to replicate success by exactly replicating a surprise hit.  They tried the same soon after The Passion of the Christ, without much success.  Also, expect much arm-twisting behind the scenes for a second movie, and much bigger paydays for the leads.
