The film is based on Henry Krieger and Tom Eyen's 1981 Broadway hit, originally staged by Michael Bennett. The film is directed and adapted by Bill Condon and produced by Dreamworks.
Dreamgirls finished strong despite the movie being shown in only 852 theatres. However, it is scheduled that Dreamgirls will expand to 1,800 theatres on January 12, potentially giving Dreamgirls a bigger box office push.
Dreamgirls now has a cumulative gross of $41.7 million.
Dreamgirls is currently nominated for five Golden Globe Awards including Best Motion Picture for a Musical or a Comedy, and Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress in a Musical or Comedy for Knowles and Hudson, respectively.
