It took much longer than anyone thought it would but "Dreamgirls," my favorite musical since "Grease," surpassed the $100 million in domestic grosses on Monday. The film, up for eight Oscars on Sunday, had $1.96 million in ticket sales over the four-day President's Day weekend and that was just enough to nudge it over this industry benchmark.
With Eddie Murphy and Jennifer Hudson heavily favored to win in the supporting categories, my guess is the movie could enjoy a post-Oscar boost at the box office.
