I am far from a Sex and the City fan. Just not my cup of tea. It had a great run on TV, and spawned a very successful feature film ($65m budget/$415m Worldwide). But a second feature film didn’t fare as well but still made money ($100m budget/$288m Worldwide).
But they are not making a Sex and the City 3, and in an interview with Chris Noth (Mr.Big himself) says it has nothing to do with the declining interest in the property. Its the critics.
The critics killed Sex and the City.
“It’s over. The franchise is dead. The press killed it. Your magazine f**king killed it. New York Magazine. It’s like all the critics got together and said, ‘This franchise must die.’ Because they all had the exact same review. It’s like they didn’t see the movie.
You know, critics are simply forming an opinion and publishing it, but everyone has an opinion.
This guy is delusional if he thinks it was the critics who killed this movie. Its like saying the news is responsible for the forest fire they report on. This guy is on crack.
It’s not like this guy is out of work, but he is hardly A-List. Sex and the City might have been all he had going for him as far as big name franchises.
The rabid fanbase that got a feature film created based on a cancelled TV series is who is responsible for your dead franchise.
And sometimes… stories just end.
Even the hardcore devotees of this property didn’t support the film as well as they did with the first one. That’s got to say something too.
The only people willing to see your film… didn’t.
