"Dreamgirls," the first musical sensation since "Chicago" in 2002, will expand to about 1,800 screens on Jan. 12.

Ya'll didn't know they are not showing it everywhere? I heard the guy on the radio say last week that Dreamgirls is not doing well. I though "if you read the whole story, you will know that they are not showing it in all theaters". There's not even 10 theaters that are showing it in SC. I guess releasing it more in theaters on King's weekend will draw more folks.
Interesting stuff on that Wikipedia site. I really think Jennifer Holiday's bitter that everyone else from the play has had sucessful careers and not her. Even the person who was orginally suppose to pay Effie (Nell Carter-RIP) had a decent career.
