Sex and the City, starring Sarah Jessica Parker, pulled in $56.8 million over the weekend, easily coasting to the top spot at the box office despite the cringing indifference of wide swathes of the country, regionally and otherwise demographically. Fellow freshman entrant The Strangers, meanwhile, grossed an extremely robust $20.9 million, good for third place at the box office; the horror thriller benefited from both strong word-of-mouth and a lack of direct genre competition, outperforming both wider-appeal recent PG-13 fare like When a Stranger Calls and similar R-rated product like Captivity. Holding onto the second spot, meanwhile, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull added $44.7 million to its coffers for a cumulative $215.6 million gross in 10 days of release.

Iron Man only furthered its reputation as the early summer’s biggest hit, adding $13.5 million to its cumulative $276.2 domestic haul. Placing fifth for the weekend was The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian; down 44 percent, the family-friendly sequel grossed $12.7 million, and has now made $115.3 heading into its third week of release. Rounding out the top 10 were What Happens in Vegas ($6.7 million for the weekend, $66 million overall); Speed Racer ($2.3 million, $40.7 overall); Tina Fey and Amy Poehler’s Baby Mama ($2.2 million, $56.1 overall); Patrick Dempsey’s Made of Honor ($1.9 million, $42.9 overall); and Forgetting Sarah Marshall ($1.1 million, $60.5 overall), directed by Nicholas Stoller.

In limited release, controversy took a hit. John Cusack’s sprawling satire War, Inc., holding over on two screens, pulled in just under $20,000, to pull its two-week total to $74,000-plus. Documentary Bloodline, meanwhile, downsized instead of expanding, and subsequently grossed only $3,000 on one screen. Sundance cast-off The Foot Fist Way, starring Danny McBride, opened bi-coastally on four screens, and grossed just under $36,400.
