SANDRA BULLOCK - THE PROPOSAL BIGGER THAN SEX AND THE CITY

THE PROPOSAL BIGGER THAN SEX AND THE CITY

The New York Times has taken note of the fact that, with the $2.8 million it earned last weekend, the Sandra Bullock starrer The Proposal has now reached $155 million in total domestic ticket sales. That, noted the newspaper, puts it ahead of the total domestic tally for Sex and the City and firmly plants the movie "as one of the most successful romantic comedies of the decade." When total sales, including DVD receipts, television rights, and foreign box office are factored in, The Proposal should wind up with about $172 million in profit, according to media analysts at SNL Kagan cited by the Times. The newspaper commented that such a result would be "extremely good news for Disney's struggling studio division, which posted a rare loss in the most recent quarter."
