The acclaimed rags-to-riches tale was released by Sony Corp.'s Columbia Pictures, which has handled five of Smith's $100 million movies, reports the Associated Press. Dreamgirls, a musical loosely based on the story of Motown hitmakers the Supremes, jumped four places to No. 3 with a four-day sum of $18.7 million. The total for the Paramount Pictures film stands at $41.6 million after just eight days in national release. The movie widened to 852 theaters on Christmas day after a week of special engagements in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco. It will expand to about 1,800 theaters on January 12, three days before the Golden Globe Awards where it will compete for five trophies. (By contrast, Museum and Happyness are playing in 3,768 theaters and 2,870 theaters respectively.) Paramount's family movie Charlotte's Web, which stars Outkast's Andre 3000, rose one place to No. 4 with $15.1 million. The adaptation of the E.B. White barnyard tale has earned $55.9 million after three weekends.
