yes, almost identical to the attendance gain they had in the prior frame. Regardless this does not strike me as a yikes situation.

Hogan (or whoever else can answer), what's the deal with ONCE ON THIS ISLAND? Does it have a large reserve fund or are there priority loans? Very curious.

I don't know. My math says they've lost roughly a million, so if they had that much in reserve (I doubt it) it's gone.

I'm guessing that it's priority loans then? What's the point to keep it running? Mgmt fees to the producer?

@zainmax I'm sure that's part of it. He's likely getting weekly fees as executive producer, producer, general management office and advertising agency. And a lot of first time producers who may have given loans with the false hope that things would turn around eventually.

At this point why keep it running? It won the award, that clearly didn't spark any interest, so why not close it. Plan a tour, and hope for some regional deals, etc.

I am too, but I'm still sad that he can't seem to be in a show that's both a "good" show and a popular one at the same time. Pretty Woman is a waste of his talents (and of the rest of the cast), in my opinion, although I know others may disagree. Still, a paycheck is always a good thing! :)

To me, he's just one of those people who really deserves a money-making hit, even if it's not a critical success. I want producers and casting folks to see him as a solid choice.
