Sing along with ‘Mamma Mia!’

“You Can Dance, You Can Jive, Having The Time of Your Life...”

Universal Pictures is giving fans a little more “Mamma Mia!” with the film returning to theaters for an encore performance in a special “sing-along edition.” The movie will return to the big screen starting Friday, August 29, but will only be there for a limited time. The movie phenomenon, based on the songs of iconic supergroup ABBA, has earned more than $320 million at the worldwide box office.

From a press release:Since its release in early July, Mamma Mia! has turned into an unprecedented worldwide phenomenon, breaking records across the world as the biggest opening of a musical in history. It has already become the fastest movie musical to reach $100 million at the U.S. box office and is now the highest grossing film of 2008 in the U.K., Austria, Greece, Hungary, Norway and Sweden.

Within the next two weeks, the Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan-led musical romantic comedy will become the most successful film Universal has ever released in the U.K. The film still has more than 35 territories in which to open.

The music of the film has proved as much a draw as the film itself and brought resurgence to the world’s favorite ABBA songs. Currently, the Mamma Mia! soundtrack is the No. 1 album on Billboard’s Top 200 album chart. It is also the No. 1 album overall in Canada, Australia, Switzerland, Finland and Hungary.

Mamma Mia!: The Sing-Along Edition arrives in select theaters across the country on August 29, 2008.
