DreamGirls Already Breaking Box Office Records

DREAMGIRLS recently broke a box office record as the highest per-screen opening in the history of the movie musical. In limited release, Paramount & Dreamworks opened DREAMGIRLS in three theaters in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco ahead of its national release on Christmas Day. Thanks in part to its $25 ticket price which included a Broadway-style experience with reserved seating and a limite-edition program book, the advance screenings earned an estimated $360,000 for an unprecedented $120,000 per screen average. All 21 shows over the weekend were sold out. DREAMGIRLS opens nationally on Dec. 25 in 800 theatres.
