Kristin Davis: 'Sex And The City' Is Over

07/25/2010

Has the end finally come for Sex And The City? Kristin Davis, who plays Park Avenue princess Charlotte York-Goldenblatt, thinks yes. “I don’t think so," she told E! News when asked whether there would be a third installment of the movie series. "I wish it was so that we were continuing but I don’t know.”

Davis based her statements on the disappointing sales of this year’s sequel. “There was so much hype… the media hyped it up and then they tore it down," she said. "I could be wrong, obviously there was a time when we thought there was no movie happening, so you never know. But it is not looking great.” 

The first film, simply titled Sex and the City: The Movie, did enormously well at the box office, making $29.93 million in the US and Canada on its first day alone. Its revenue broke records as the biggest opening ever for all of an R-rated comedy, romantic comedy and a movie starring an all-female ensemble. Its worldwide gross revenue was $415 million. Released in 2008, SATC was received by mixed reviews from critics, but no one doubted its commercial success.

SATC 2 was not so lucky. While it enjoyed a relatively lucrative opening – first day ticket sales grossed $14.2 million – it still fell short of studio expectations, debuting at a surprising second place behind the final installment of the family friendly Shrek series. The film’s opening weekend total paled in comparison to its predecessor’s, capping at a worldwide $73 million – the first movie took $57 million just in the US. The HBO phenomenon-turned-big screen saga performed much better overseas, but in the end made a decent, but disappointing, $300 million internationally. As if that were not enough, critics panned the flick, many describing it as racist, anti-Muslim, and exploitative.

Still, we've heard some of this nay-saying before. When the series ended in 2004, Kim Cattrall, who played sex-crazed Samantha Jones, was vocal about her reservations toward a film. Perhaps the ladies are just playing hard to get! – Alex Santos Murry

  • As much as i love SATC, I do not want there to be a third film. The second was bad enough, we do not need any more.

  • Fallon Flat: The Emmy Disaster

    By Zachary Block 08/31/2010

    In an article published earlier today, PopEater.com's Marc Schneider suggested that "literacy in America may be on life support" if a certain constituency of the viewing public believes Fred Savage to be dead simply because the image of Corey Haim used during last night's Emmy’s “In Memoriam" segment vaguely resembled him, and in spite of the fact that that image was clearly labeled with the late former child star's name.
  • James Franco: Friend Or Faux?

    By Uinterview User 08/17/2010

    James Franco has now filled nearly every role in the entertainment industry, moving seamlessly between acting in, directing, writing and producing films, short films and most recently TV. soap operas. His resume reads as a study in opposites, bearing witness to seemingly erratic career choices as he’s elected to take roles in various genre of film and played characters ranging from the romantic lead (gay and straight) to a hapless, perpetually stoned pot dealer.
  • Kanye West: The Tom Cruise Of Music

    By tobiaschapple 08/11/2010

    "Remember in high school when there was that kid who would go on about his latest hobbies for hours if you gave him the chance so you kept away from him and would hate those awkard moments in-between classes where you were stuck with him? Remember as well the kid who was too cool for school, who'd always be keeping up the latest trends and know the good bands and who taught you that saying 'sharp' was cool and then when it wasn't? How is it that Kanye West is both of these kids at once? It's kind of ironic that one of Kanye West's best known songs has the lyrics 'that that don't kill me/ can only make me stronger' when Mr.
