It looks as though In Transit has had one week (out of 13) where it may have met (or slightly exceeded) expenses. The other 12 (based on a quoted $400k break even) have shown losses of $63k-$175k each, for a very rough potential lifetime loss of $1.5M (not counting initial investment).

Producing test question: do you believe that the investors created a large reserve/endowment, or that they continue to pump new money into it each week?

I believe Groban's standby was on for at least one performance this weekend.

Wow, Sunset.

I continue to be impressed by A BRONX TALE's numbers. I wrote this show off at the beginning of the season, but clearly it's going to have more staying power than I had anticipated.

It must have great word of mouth because I know several people who live here that don't go to shows besides 1 or 2 a year and they have all seen it already.

It's barely been on TDF as well, this week was the first time I've seen it have any shows on that in a long time. I was able to grab 2 for Wednesday so I'm very curious to see the show. 

I'm most shocked about Sunset Boulevard. I really didn't think it would be a draw.

Is it the first time that the highest gross is more than double the second highest gross? I don't think I've ever seen that much differences before.

That's just the price now. Also the first week they've had double the amount of lottery seats.

Yup. Groban was out for both shows Saturday and the Sunday matinee, which definitely explains the drop for Great Comet this week.

Good question. I'd also like to know the answer...

"I also don't believe the "actual breakeven" is 400k. "

I've been saying that too.
