Posted: 8/6/07 at 1:11pmI just check boxoffice mojo and its around 90 mil. But I have a question, what all plays into that? CD sales,dolls,and other merchandise?

w/ B.O.M its just B.O sales nationally and internationally.
I am sure the actual gross from Hairspray is much larger- what with Soundtrack and Merchandise sales

95 Million world wide.
I can only imagine how much it's made from the Soundtrack.

Posted: 8/6/07 at 10:50pmHow is the soundtrack doing? Because just about everyone I know, even people who aren't normally into musicals, has it.

The soundtrack was #1 on Amazon and iTunes, and I believe it went up to #2 on the Billboard charts.
So, yeah...it's doing well.

my HS peeps. I miss youz guys!
Well the Soundtrack is currently #2 in a country where musicals are not widely accepted- so yeah I'd say its doing VERY well.
It will stay up there on the charts for a lil while-
but High School Musical 2 will no doubt be #1 when it comes out.
