Martin Scorsese's The Departed has received the best-picture award from the Chicago Film Critics Association.
January 3, 2007 (Press Release) --
Dreamworks: They Can Dream, Can't They?
Despite the fact that it will be playing in about a quarter of the theaters showing Night at the Museum, analysts are predicting that the musical Dreamgirls has a fighting chance of unseating the Ben Stiller fantasy-comedy as the box-office leader this weekend. Dreamgirls opened to a staggering $8.5 million on Christmas day, but it has not come close to equaling Museum's mid-week grosses. (On Wednesday, it was only fourth on the list, behind Museum, The Pursuit of Happyness, and Charlotte's Web.) Picturehouse, created by New Line and HBO Films, is also releasing Pan's Labyrinth during the last weekend of the year when it can qualify for Oscar nominations. Among a virtual glut of artsy films being put out in limited release this weekend is Roberto Benigni's The Tiger and the Snow.
