Like the headlines say “moviegoers are still interested in ‘Sex’.”

The sequel Sex and the City 2 easily took the top spot yesterday, collecting an estimated $13.1 million. Added to the fact that Sex took an estimated $14.2 million on Thursday gives the girlie-girl movie a two day total of about $27.3 million.

On Friday, Sex beat both Shrek Forever After, which took in about $11.3 million, and Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, which wrestled at third and earned almost $10.2 million.

Iron Man 2 went down one or two notches to fourth, earning about $4.2 million, while Robin Hood earned almost $2.8 million at fifth place.

Jimmy shows scenes he filmed with Kim Cattrall from Sex and the City 2 that ended up  on the cutting room floor.

What can I say about Sex and the City 2? 

The movie continues the story of Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda and Samantha as they struggle to manage their love lives, friendships and careers in New York City.  

The movie hits the theaters May 27, 2010.

Carry on girls…

Well, folks–it’s true.  And as much as I may wish I weren’t here typing this right now, it’s just entirely too true to not write about.

If this doesn’t qualify as a sign of the Apocalypse it’s hard to tell what will, but Sarah Jessica Parker is reportedly hard at work filming the sequel to Sex and the City. And as much as it may make me cringe to even think about another foray into the upscale female version of a bad eighties movie, it’s no less there.

The scene she began filming features her emerging from the apartment she bought and sold with Big in the last go-round, and by all accounts, she’s looking happy.  What exactly this means for the film is hard to tell, but one thing is clear enough–the game is on, whether we like it or not.

The Sex and the City sequel hits theatres May of 2010.

Sex and the City 2 opening date is set with Warner Bros. and New Line.  The adaptation of the hit HBO series will bow in theaters on May 28, 2010, the same period in which the original opened in 2008.

Sex and the City opened to $57 million on its way to adding up $152.6 million domestically.

The film finished an even highly-flavored showing overseas, grossing $260 million at the international box office for a worldwide total of $412.6 million.
