If Sex and the Ctiy 2 is like the Star Wars prequels for women, does that make Sarah Jessica Parker Jar Jar Binks? The much derided sequel — and apparent terrorist training video — followed up its $14.2 million Thursday opening with $13.5 million on Friday, meaning it will easily top the box office over Memorial Day weekend. Cosmos for all! Except Jake Gyllenhaal and Jerry Bruckheimer: Prince of Persia grossed just $9.5 million on Friday, which would be good if this were Date Night . Overall, Friday ticket sales were down 20 percent from Memorial Day last year, proving once again that if the movies suck, no one will actually want to see them. Unless they’re called Sex and the City 2 . Or Shrek Forever After . The top-five after the jump.
