The film version of Sex and the City<\/strong><\/a> had it’s world premiere in London earlier this evening.<\/p>\n

Stars Sarah Jessica Parker<\/a>, Kim Catrall<\/a>, Cynthia Nixon<\/a> and Kristin Davis<\/a> were in Leicester Square<\/a> to promote the film.<\/p>\n

Some people have been asking why the first premiere was in London, rather than the more obvious choice of New York. New Line<\/a>, the studio behind the film, have said<\/a> the decision was taken simply to maximise the movie’s ‘global appeal’.<\/p>\n

With foreign box office now as important as domestic grosses, it could be that they want to give the film a foreign marketing push first. This was partly the reason a film like Spider-Man 3<\/a> had it’s world premiere in Tokyo last year<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Another factor could be that because New Line sell off distribution rights<\/a> to foreign exhibitors (in the UK, it is being released by Entertainment Films<\/a>) and they get a say in when to stage the premiere.<\/p>\n

Details about the film are still a little sketchy but if you don’t mind a couple of spoilers then the Wikipedia entry for the film suggests a few plot points<\/a> from the official trailer<\/a>.<\/p>\n
