Sex and the City has become the biggest R-rated comedy ever with an opening weekend of $55.7 million. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull dropped to second still taking in about $46 million bringing it over the $200 million mark.

The movie performed quite well but it was expected to break the record held by last year's Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End.

Indy was good. Not as good as the original three. I hate aliens.
