understand that there is no correlation between weekly net proceeds and the payout to investors. Investors do not receive a weekly check the way royalty recipients do."

Hogan is, as usual, correct. I meant to say it was the equivalent of that % of the capitalization. I believe they have returned 10% to investors so far.

I didn't realize the Marquis' history was so grim. I didn't even hate the place - at least it's comfortable and the sightlines are fine - but as a tourist I had no idea there was even a theater inside despite what ought to be prime location. Unless ticket sales fall off a cliff, there's no reason for Tootsie to close until January at the very earliest.

I am bummed about Oklahoma!'s decline, as I really enjoyed it. But it's a revival, and a divisive revival at that, and it's essentially been around since it opened at St. Ann's Warehouse nearly a year ago. Even the most successful revivals don't usually last much longer than a year.

Moulin Rouge! is a monster hit. I got to experience how big it is when I was scanning around looking for tickets last week in case I took an unexpected trip to New York City.
