Sex and The City 2 Hits The Number One Spot at the Box Office in the UK and Ireland

LONDON, May 31, 2010/PRNewswire/ — Sex and The City 2 starring Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon triumphed at the box office in the UK and Ireland with a opening weekend of GBP6.13m making it the 3rd biggest opening of 2010*.

The sequel to the 2008 box office smash again directed by Michael Patrick King and reuniting the four leading ladies added a touch of glamour to cinemas across the country over the Bank Holiday weekend.

In Sex and The City 2 life is everything the ladies ever wished it to be, but it wouldn’t be Sex and the City if life didn’t hold a few more surprises … this time in the form of a glamorous, sun-drenched adventure that whisks the women away from New York to one of the most luxurious, exotic and vivid places on earth, where the party never ends and there’s something mysterious around every corner. It’s an escape that comes exactly at the right moment for the four friends, who are finding themselves in – and fighting against – the traditional roles of marriage, motherhood and more. After all, sometimes you just have to get away with the girls.

Sex and The City is directed by Michael Patrick King from his own screenplay, based on the TV series created by Darren Star, based on characters from the book by Candace Bushnell. The film stars Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon, with John Corbett and Chris Noth. Liza Minnelli, Alice Eve, Max Ryan, David Eigenberg, Evan Handler, Jason Lewis, Raza Jaffrey, Omid Djalili, Penelope Cruz, Miley Cyrus, Willie Garson and Mario Cantone also star.
