Though Dreamgirls is spelled with 'girls' and not 'boys', the first set of character posters for the film is predominantly male.
Dreamgirls Character Posters
Based on the Tony Award-winning musical, Dreamgirls, set in the turbulent late 1960s and early '70s, follows the rise of a trio of women -- Effie (Jennifer Hudson), Deena (Beyonce Knowles) and Lorrell (Anika Noni Rose) -- who have formed a promising girl group called The Dreamettes. At a talent competition, they are discovered by an ambitious manager named Curtis Taylor, Jr. (Jamie Foxx), who offers them the opportunity of a lifetime: to become the back-up singers for headliner James "Thunder" Early (Eddie Murphy). Curtis gradually takes control of the girls' look and sound, eventually giving them their own shot in the spotlight as The Dreams. That spotlight, however, begins to narrow in on Deena, finally pushing the less attractive Effie out altogether. Though the Dreams become a cross-over phenomenon, they soon realize that the cost of fame and fortune may be higher than they ever imagined.

Color, lots of it. If its bright posters that catch the eye in theatres, than these should have no problem garnering some extra attention. I don't know if it is just me, but there is something aged and elegant about Eddie Murphy's shot. This is definitely not the same person who plays Norbit.
