Sex and The City sbanca il botteghino USA

Nonostante molti scettici del settore e analisti Sex and The City sbanca il box office Usa! Il film, attesissimo da milioni di fans in giro per il mondo, ha letteralmente stracciato tutti i pronostici della vigilia, che gli attribuivano 35 milioni di dollari d’incasso nei tre giorni del weekend. Il film ha invece sbalordito tutti, portando a casa la bellezza di 26 milioni di dollari in un solo giorno, con una media per sala vicina agli 8000 dollari, una media altissima.
Pensate solo che Indiana Jones è lontanissimo al secondo posto con appena 12 milioni di dollari incassati. A questo punto il film promette di arrivare nei tre giorni a superare i 50 milioni di dollari, con il clamoroso risultato dei 70 per molti alla portata.
E poi va detto il fim è bello, e tutti i fans della serie non possono che adorare le quattro protagoniste di Sex and The City.
