Sarah Jessica Parker and her partners in crime should be able to afford plenty of “Sex and the City” themed drinks after a $55.7 million opening weekend. “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” fell to second with $46 million (bringing its total to $216 million), followed by respectable debut for “The Strangers” ($20.7 million). “Iron Man” ($14 million) and “The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian” ($13 million) continue to show legs.

The curtain may have fallen on “American Idol” and “Dancing With the Stars,” but (of course) they’re still atop the most recent Nielsen ratings.

Newcomers to the charts hold the top three spots on the Billboard 200. 3 Doors Down’s self-titled album debuts at No. 1, followed by Bun-B’s “II Trill” and Julianne Hough’s “Julianne Hough.” Frank Sinatra’s “Nothing But The Best” falls two spots to No. 4 and Death Cab for Cutie slides from first to fifth.

Dean Koontz is back at No. 1 on the NYT fiction list with “Odd Hours.” Other noteworthy titles include “Snuff” from Chuck Palahniuk (No. 5) and “Bright Shiny Morning” by James Frey (No. 12). Barbara Walters’ “Audition” is No. 1 again on the non-fiction list. Political books and polygamy books are apparently all the rage: Fareed Zakaria, Ron Paul, Jim Webb, and Ted Sorensen are all in the top 10, as are two memoirs by former members of polygamous sects.
