The first ‘Sex and the City: The Movie’ tracking numbers are in and they’re painting a mixed picture. I can’t remember the last movie that had this much buzz among the ladies. And I don’t recall girls paying thousands of dollars for a ticket to see ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ in 2006 either. But early tracking numbers are indicating a $30 million opening for ‘Sex and the City: The Movie,’ compared to a $27.53 million opening for ‘The Devil Wears Prada.’

Last week Moviefone released the results of their survey with over 420,000 respondents. ‘Sex and the City: The Movie’ was leading this questionnaire with 32% looking forward to the movie. Very impressive for a movie that cost only $65 million to produce, compared to about 10 movies that crossed the $100 million this summer.
