The record-breaking $55.7 million earned by Sex and the City on its opening weekend – the most ever made by an R-rated comedy – not only stunned industry observers but has also taken its star and producer Sarah Jessica Parker by surprise. "To be No. 1 is unexpected," Sarah Jessica, 43, told PEOPLE at Sunday night's MTV Movie Awards. "Beyond that, it would be greedy for us to think about, talk about" how much it might make.
The weekend's second-place movie, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, has so far taken in $216.9 million. This weekend, it trailed Sex with a still impressive $46 million at the box office, according to industry estimates.
As for fans’ reactions to her movie, which comes four years after the adored HBO series finished a run that began in 1998, Sarah Jessica says she is pleased. "They had to have barricades in New York for the audiences," she notes. "People have been really enthusiastic, people have been really nice."

Get to the theater now! If you have not seen Sex And The City you have missed out. It is one of the best movies ever. And if you are one of the people who watched the series regularly, as I did… it will bring you home. Tears, laughter…. I even had chills as it started. I felt like it was 2001 all over again. Go love those girls, their gay men and the men they love. I could go watch it again and I just saw it at 11:45am.
