I saw the Sex and the City movie -- liked it, didn't love it. But I'm hard to please -- I've seen every episode of the series multiple times, and went in with impossibly high hopes. I will say, however, that Kristin Davis blew me away. Best Supporting Actress anyone?
Audiences, however, continue to eat the film up! According to BoxOfficeMojo.com, the film has earned more than $5 million every day this week. Yep -- more than $5 million a day on a Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday! That brings the film's total domestic gross to more than $73 million, and it's only been open for one week.
You go girls!

Golden Compass Tops Box Office, Juno Huge in Limited Release
Despite some pretty rough reviews, Golden Compass managed to top the box office this past weekend, bring in $26.1 million, according to Box Office Mojo. Enchanted was a repeat #2, with $10.7 million, followed by This Christmas ($5 million), Fred Claus ($4.6 million) and Beowulf ($4.4 million).
In limited release news, Atonement wracked up $817K on 32 screens. while Juno did boffo business at just 7 screens, bring in $531K for a per-screen average of $60K. Wow! Word of mouth is great on this one -- I've got two friends who saw it this weekend, and both loved it.
Overall, a pretty weak showing. Here's hoping the Christmas releases spark it up a little.

Superbad Knocks It Out of the Park
Teen comedy Superbad knocked it out of the park this weekend, pulling in $31.2 million. Didja see it? I did!
Between this and Knocked Up, this is undoubtedly the summer of the R-rated comedy, and I couldn't be happier! (As a side note, I saw the movie the same day I watched High School Musical 2, and it was the perfect antidote to all the earnest goodness put forth in the admittedly adorable Disney confection). Yes, Superbad was a bit juvenile at times, but it was also hysterically funny, and even had genuine moments of sweetness between the two boys (I particularly enjoyed their drunken declarations of love for each other).
Jonah Hill proved the comic chops he showed off in Knocked Up were no fluke, and Christopher Mintz-Plasse took film dorkiness to a laugh-out-loud new level, but for me Arrested Development's Cera stole the show with his unwaveringly genius deadpan style. I love this kid!
I could have done with a little less of the bumbling cops (although Seth Rogen is always good for a laugh), but all in all, if you like a hearty laugh and some dirty jokes, I'd definitely recommend seeing this flick. Not since American Pie have high schoolers been this funny.

Wow.
