Sarah Jessica Parker Wants Carrie Bradshaw to "Live On"

Posted Wednesday June 2, 2010 2:15 PM GMT

The dismal earnings for “Sex and the City 2” have cast doubt on whether a third movie will be ordered, but Sarah Jessica Parker says she’s holding out hope.

The “Failure to Launch” actress told press, “I hope Carrie [Bradshaw, her character] will live on. She will live on- even if the movies don’t.”

Critic Gary Susman offered an explanation for the poor $37.1 million in box office receipts on opening weekend- a conglomeration of bad circumstances.

"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 theSex 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."
