Sex Girls Strut To Top Of U.k. Box Office
By WENNTuesday, June 1, 2010
The SEX AND THE CITY girls can rely on their fans in the U.K. - their movie sequel has strutted to the top of the British box office, just days after failing to excite U.S. cinemagoers.
The highly-anticipated film failed to hit the top spot in America over the Memorial Day weekend, losing out to both Shrek Forever After and Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time.
But Brit devotees of the hit TV series-turned-movie franchise flocked to catch the return of Carrie Bradshaw.
The sequel shot to the top of the box office with a $9.2 million (£6.14 million) opening weekend.
Dance movie Streetdance 3D fell to second place with takings of $2.7 million (£1.82 million), while Jake Gyllenhaal’s Prince of Persia debuted in third place with $2.4 million (£1.63 million).
Russell Crowe’s update of the Robin Hood story and Dwayne Johnson’s new family comedy Tooth Fairy round out the new British top five.
