Obviously, missing out on a best picture Oscar nomination has slowed its box office momentum some but "Dreamgirls" is still the most successful Hollywood musical since "Chicago." The film, which received 8 Oscar nods (three in the best song category) was the number seven movie at the box office over the weekend earning $4 million. That gives it a domestic total of $92.8 million and the film is a sure-bet to at least crack $100 million.
Meanwhile, I'm heading out for a few hours to cover to Oscar nominees luncheon at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. I will have highlights for you later in the afternoon.
