Joo know what time it is?

Ladies rejoice! Your horniness paid off! Sex and the City, the long-awaited romantic comedy based on the HBO series of the same name, won the top spot at the North American box office with better-than-expected weekend sales, said distributor Warner Bros. Pictures.

Its $55.7 million opening easily beat expectations and all competition. The Time Warner Inc. unit had hoped the big-screen version of the series would launch in the $25 million to $35 million range. Industry observers had assumed that Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull would get first place the second weekend in a row, but it bowed at No. 2 with $46 million. HA HA! Maybe if Harrison Ford wasn’t 102 years old, and the movie didn’t suck so bad, it would have standed a chance. Never underestimate the power of a woman and her cosmo!

Any straight man who was looking to pick up women this weekend would and should have been smart enough to get him and his pals tickets to the Sex and the City movie. The streets were devoid of any women on Friday, because they were all seeing the movie! Warner Bros. said women comprised 85 percent of the audience on Friday night. So if any males were at a bar trying to pick up the ladies, I feel bad for ya. Fred Turd was at the movie surrounded by drunk gorgeous women!

According to Yahoo.com, Sex’s three-day haul ranks as the biggest R-rated comedy opening of all time, beating the $45.1 million weekend bow of American Pie in 1999. Among all R-rated films, it stands as No. 5 behind The Matrix Reloaded ($91.8 million), The Passion of the Christ ($83.8 million), 300 ($70.9 million) and Hannibal ($58 million). All those movies, except Passion, sucked!

“This is a blockbuster for women. This was to women what Indiana Jones and Star Wars, let’s say, are to men,” said Paul Dergarabedian, president of box office tracker Media By Numbers. Amen to that!

I mean, I love women. That’s all I meant by that. Okay, moving on…

Many Hollywood skeptics had doubted the commercial prospects for a movie adaptation of the show, which ended its six-year run in 2004. Originally aired on HBO, the show had a loyal but small fan base and held little appeal for young males, the usual moviegoing audience. However, I think the fan base grew with the DVD releases, and KTLA and TBS reruns. Women who had never seen the show, but were curious at the hype, also comprised some of the movie’s weekend audience.

Sex and the City mania grew even bigger as the movie’s release date approached, with many women organizing girls-night-out parties to see it with friends on opening night. This movie quickly became an event for women across the country, with theaters selling out days in advance!

“That’s why Friday was quite a frenzy,” Dan Fellman, head of Distribution at Warner Bros. said. “There were women that came in and bought out entire theaters in advance and invited all their friends.” That’s exactly what Coacha and I did!
