LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - Though some film critics predicted that Sex And The City might have a rough battle at the box office this weekend with Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Carrie and the ladies easily took the number one spot and brought in $55.7 million for the film's opening weekend.

The film, which is based on the hit HBO television series created by Darren Star, also marks the biggest R-rated comedy opening of all time.
