The Sex and the City 2 Trailer: By The Numbers

Today's release of the Sex and the City: 2 Ferragamo 2 Fabulous trailer is something of a holiday at Movieline HQ, with the giddy sounds of being reunited with our favorite cinematic BFFs nearly drowned out by clinking champagne flutes and the delighted squeals of fashion-obsessed editors given 30 seconds of heaven in New Line's promotional All The Choos You Can Hold In Your Greedy Little Arms Closet. (The first installment grossed $415 million worldwide; they're really not screwing around this time.) And while we've already slapped a SOLD! verdict on this first two minutes of teaser footage, our excitement demands a deeper level of engagement with the trailer: its mysteries must be pondered, its myriad delights cataloged in painstaking detail. After the jump, we break it down by the numbers, hoping to better understand exactly what's in store for us on May 27.
