BOX OFFICE: Women on Top of Indy (No Pun Intended)



Sex and the City took the Friday box office by storm opening with $26.9 million easily topping Indiana Jones 4's $12.2 million for Friday. Early figures show that Sex and the City is secured to be not only the #1 movie this weekend but also the highest opening for a R-rated comedy ever at $55.7 million.


Indy 4 is estimated to have dropped 54.1% to return $46 million in its second weekend out. The Strangers starring Liv Tyler and Scott Speedman opened in 3rd place behind Indy at $20.7 million doing much better than expected.


Iron Man continues to do strong business. It took fourth place after 4 weeks in the theatres adding another $14 million for a total of $276.6 million. Yes, I believe it will beat out Spiderman 3's total! Prince Caspian fell to 5th place returning $13 million for a new total of $115.6 million. This movie is officially a bomb in my books as I don't expect it to pay itself off.
