The film also stars David Strathairn, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, James Spader and Hal Holbrook.

On Wednesday, Lincoln received four SAG Award nominations, tying for the lead with Silver Linings Playbook and Les Miserables.

In the wake of the nominations, Lincoln will add another 271 theaters Friday, bringing its total count to 2,285.

“It was a 12-year struggle to get this film made," said Lincoln producer Kathleen Kennedy. "We are humbled and gratified to receive these nominations and to see how audiences have embraced it. To see this film cross $100 million after we were continually discouraged from making it is beyond what we could have ever hoped for."
