I think we will be seeing more musicals the next few years

When they hit it seems like they hit big, including overseas.

 

Looking at your list and including OS numbers they look even more impressive, especially a crowd pleaser like Mamma Mia.

 

Chicago - 170 -136 OS - 306.7 WW (Budget- 45m)

Mamma Mia - 144 - 465.7 OS - 608.8 WW (Budget- 52m)

 

Enchanted - 127 - 212.6 OS - 340.4 WW (Budget 85m)

Hairspray - 118 - 83.6 - 202.5 WW (No budget listed)

Dreamgirls - 103 - 51.5 OS - 154.9 WW (No budget listed)

you will. Here is a sample list of up-and-comers, which incl Les Mis, many more since announced. tatoufan Dec 26, 08:17

you are selecting only the ones that do well. Its like any genre, some work, some don't. Les Mis is the most succesful musical of the last Moviesnob Dec 26, 09:21

Yep, Book of Mormon and Wicked. Not much else with potential is left. {nm} Antibody Dec 26, 09:45

I would add JBOYS: It's been a hit on Bway and touring for a long time; if marketed as well as LESMS & Dreamgirls it would do well MAlbi Dec 26, 13:43

forgot to mention RENT, Rock of Ages {nm} gogreenytd Dec 26, 09:52

The Phantom Of The Opera; The Producers... {nm} RazorHawk Dec 26, 09:58

Got tired of typing on a phone, but I'll add about those... LanceStorm22 Dec 26, 12:55

considering how much these shows have made on Broadway, why wouldn't a studio want to give them a shot on the big screen?... tealfan Dec 26, 09:14

Remake Phantom of the Opera? with AHATH and HJACK! {nm} Antibody Dec 26, 09:39

I would love to see a live action filmed version of Starlight Express! {nm} RazorHawk Dec 26, 09:42

CATS directed by Andy Serkis! {nm} Antibody Dec 26, 09:51

WB could consider 'Batman Live' for their next caped crusader movie (superhero + musical) {nm} RazorHawk Dec 26, 10:04

Are we forgetting the web-slinger? Spider-Man Turn on the Bucks? {nm} Buy BONDS 19 Dec 26, 10:52
