Sex and the City (advertised as Sex and the City: The Movie) is a 2008 American romantic comedy film written and directed by Michael Patrick King in his feature film directorial debut.[2] It is a continuation of the 1998–2004 television series about four friends, Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker), Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrall), Charlotte York Goldenblatt (Kristin Davis), and Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon),[2] and their lives in New York City.
The world premiere took place at Leicester Square in London on May 15, 2008, and premiered on May 28, 2008, in the United Kingdom and on May 30, 2008, in North America. Despite mixed reviews from critics, calling the film an extended episode of the series, it was a commercial success, grossing $418.8 million worldwide from a $65 million budget.
A sequel to the film, titled Sex and the City 2,[3] was released in 2010 and also had commercial success, but was an even larger critical failure. A third film was announced in December 2016, but was ultimately cancelled and replaced by a sequel series, And Just Like That..., on HBO Max.[4]
