Sarah Jessica Parker: Sex And The City success is unexpected

Actress surprised new movie topped the US box office

Sarah Jessica Parker has been surprised by how well received the movie has been

Sarah Jessica Parker says she didn’t think Sex And The City: The Movie would be as big as a hit as has turned out.

The comedy topped the US box office this weekend taking over £27m.

It makes it the highest opener in the States for a film with the American R-rated certificate, which is the equivalent of an 18.

‘To be No1 is unexpected,’ she says. ‘Beyond that, it would be greedy for us to think about, talk about how much it might make.’

SJP, 43, is also pleased with the fans' reaction.

‘They had to have barricades in New York for the audiences,’ she tells People. ‘People have been really enthusiastic, people have been really nice.’
