"Dreamgirls" finally goes nationwide...today!
My guess is that there have been plenty of readers who think, "Why the hell does Greg keep going on and on about 'Dreamgirls'"? Well, you will get a chance to find out as the movie finally goes into wide release in 1,900 theaters in the U.S.
So fare, the movie has grossed $56.2 million domestically (as of Wednesday) and has earned all kinds of award show nominations. I think it's a shoo-in to reach at least $150 million. Three years ago, the musical "Chicago" went on to take in $170 million after it won the best picture Oscar. The movie is up for five Golden Globe awards on Monday and should win in some key categories and I think that could result in a nice box office boost as well.
So go see "Dreamgirls" this weekend and let me know what you think of it!

Greg Hernandez has covered the entertainment industry for the Daily News since 2001. He's considered a bit odd by some for his obsession with box office numbers, has been known to camp out near the kitchen at premieres for first crack at the hors d'oeurves, and Greg's never seen a red carpet he didn't want to stroll down.
