Hungry for more Sex?
Well, Sarah Jessica Parker is.
Although Sex and the City 2 was panned by critics and underperformed at the U.S. box office, its central star is game for a third go-round.
"I hope Carrie will live on," Parker told UsMagazine.com at the sequel's Tokyo, Japan premiere on Tuesday. "She will live on -- even if the movies don't."

Over Memorial Day weekend, the relentlessly promoted Sex and the City 2 debuted at a disappointing no. 3 with $37.1 million; moviegoers preferred Shrek Forever After ($55.7 million) and Prince of Persia ($37.8 million). Panned by critics, Sex and the City 2 grossed less in five days than the 2008 original did in three days.

Mused Moviefone's Gary Susman: "It's possible that the film was hurt by poor reviews, its R-rating, and its 2 1/2-hour running time (allowing for fewer screenings per day) or its inability to attract male moviegoers (polling found the Sex 2 audience to be 90 percent female), but none of these proved obstacles for the first movie. Maybe it's just that real-life women the ages of Carrie or Samantha were busy taking their kids to see Shrek."

Still, Parker told Us, "I feel blessed that we've told so many stories about these lovely characters."
Tell Us: should the girls reunite for a third Sex film?

40I liked the movie even though it was fluff. these ladies are getting older and the script should reflect they are of age and have moved on. It would be great to see Big & Carrie with a kid even though they say no. Smith definitely needs to be in Samantha's life - he is gorgeous.
SATC2 was absolutely fabulous. I laughed more than at any movie I've seen in a long while. I loved Liza's number, what fun this movie was. Can't wait for SATC3!!!!
I would absolutely see a Sex 3. It's fun and exactly what I expect it to be... fun, sexy, crazy, and untouchable to the masses. I can't act, dress, be like that... so it's fun to watch these lovely ladies :)
Please enough, jessica parker my advise to you swich to horror movies
We have to remember that this is entertainment!!!!! It is exactly what I expected;Hot to trot a** Samantha, awful clothing Carrie, Happy but weird Miranda and weird but funny Charlott.
Sex 2 wasn't great but good enough to satisfy my craving since the show has been cancelled. Sadly, I would see Sex 3, I am an addict; however, really really not a good movie. Not enought Smith Jerrod.
Lisa 4:06 I agree with your comment. The script fell flat. I admit I was misty eyed through most of the last movie but at least there was real emotion. No laughs, no crying just Aiden and he is not enough to carry the movie.
Maybe the movie wasn't a hit because many women can't identify with these characters. Unlimited cash, vulugar sex talk, and lives that are ruled by what you wear, and the designer that made it. Most of us just get by, don't speak to our girlfriends in a way that stretches the phrase TMI, and our lives are ruled by far more important and life changing things than fashion and designers. Oh, and maybe, just maybe it is the economy as well. How many people want to see such gross spending, when so many are barely getting by?!
I thought the movie was great fun!
Love this show! They can never make enough movies!
more like grand kids...
Sex and the city is a joy to watch...who cares what the critics say. It is always a wonderful to look forward to any new chance to see the SATC ladies!!
Of course she wants more, more paychecks for her.
Yeah great. Hope they make more. Love these women. So much fun to watch their shows and see the fashions. Love it!
Went with some friends and loved the movie. I loved Samantha w her menopause and Charlotte, how many moms have gone thru that , get in a closet and cry. Hopefully the third one Carrie has a baby. Not be only "us two".
tmx, you obviously have a lot of time on your hands.
went with 3 close friends last Saturday. We enjoyed it and would definitely go again. Headed out for drinks after. Our only complaint...more Aiden, more Smith, more sex. ha!
GO GIRLS!!! I really am not sure what nay sayers were expecting. Did they actually see the movie or the show. It delivered exactly what FANS wanted and expected. I sure hope there is a third and a fourth. It is like a class reunion to me and I look forward to the fantasy ever couple of years.
SATC is a complete joke now. It is but a shadow of what the show used to be.
To all you girls who actually LIKED this movie -- get a life!! Your own lives must be so vapidly boring for you to think that these women have such charmed lives. They are all immature who cannot face the fact that they are getting old and life is not all about more more more!!!
