Chris Noth on 'Sex and the City': "The Franchise is Dead"

We hope he's kidding, but Chris Noth went on a rant last night at the premiere of Jack Goes Boating about his thoughts on Sex and the City that lead to his conclusion that "the franchise is dead."

Although he isn't in Philip Seymour Hoffman's directorial debut, Chris spoke with New York Magazine and shared his thoughts on Sex and the City.

"It’s over. The franchise is dead," Chris said. "The press killed it."

But Mr. Big didn't stop there.

"Your magazine f***ing killed it. New York Magazine. It's like all the critics got together and said, 'This franchise must die.' Because they all had the exact same review. It’s like they didn’t see the movie. Got any more gum?"

And, yes, Chris really did then ask for a piece of gum. So perhaps that means he was just kidding around, but there sounds like there may be some hurt with how Sex and the City 2 did in the box office.
