Three of them, plus Just in Time, continue to do fine - or better than fine. My question concerns Operation Mincemeat. It appears to be showing the first signs of weakness, mostly in terms of the average ticket price. I have never known what the show's running costs are, but I can't imagine that consistent weekly box office totals less than $700K are going to cut it. But I may be overestimating its running costs, given the small scale of the musical.

I remember in her recent CBS interview, they immediately touched on how well it was selling and Jean seemed really proud to hear that…it’s gotta be a tough pill to swallow, especially for all the (well deserved) hype and praise she’s been getting for Hacks. One would think that alone would drive sales to be better than they have been.

From the Reddit analysis, they estimated the weekly nut for Operation Mincemeat to be around $580k/week. Who knows though.

Last time I recall seeing numbers like that was when 'The Little Prince' was at the Broadway in 2022
