Horse Joke: 'Sex and the City' Put Out to Pasture

Good news: It looks like we won. Kristin Davis tells E! that we might have seen the last of Sex and the City. No word on whether or not Sarah Jessica Parker ordered another bag of oats to help her drown her sorrows. The reason is money. Or at least that's it's reason that's on the surface. "I wish it was so that we were continuing but I don't know. We made [about] $300 million internationally," Davis said of the slightly disappointing box office number. "There was so much hype, not coming from us, but the media hyped it up and then they tore it down." I will definitely cop to that last part. I tore it down like a flophouse in a rezoned district. But then, I was never hyping it up because the first movie took full advantage of its captive audience and delivered a half-baked movie spin-off. So the writing was on the wall for the sequel as soon as they announced it. And we weren't wrong about it. So I think it was the quality of the finished product that prevented Sex and the City 2 from making more money. The first film made nearly $125 million more and cost $40 million less. That'll happen when you don't blow $10 million on clothes for four people. But Davis still holds out hope for a third film. "I could be wrong," she admitted. "Obviously there was a time when we thought there was no movie happening, so you never know. But it is not looking great." Depends on where you're sitting at the table, Charlotte.

It may just be indicative of the run of movies made from TV series that have run their course. Star Trek aside, most series that do this have one, maybe two movies - like this show - and then poof, it's finally gone. From The Monkees and Batman to Get Smart, the X Files and probably here in a coupla' years 24. The audience has just finally moved on.
