Bullets, If/Then, Rocky in trouble

I don't like to kick around rumors cause that's not the cool thing to do. However I hear that these shows are having trouble filling the seats and my be in trouble. Any thoughts or facts that support or debunk these rumors?

Yes, all three shows took a box office hit last week and are likely to take another this week. But if you look at all the shows' grosses, every show took a drop last week even the big hits (which simply means fewer premium seats were sold). The trend right now is down and will probably remain so for a couple more weeks until tourist season kicks in. Right now there are graduations, end of the school year, weddings and other seasonal events competing for the theatre-goer's time and money.

Also we don't know what the advance sales are.

Of the three Rocky is just that, rocky, but the other two seem okay for the moment.

I would much rather worry about Mothers and Sons which probably has not broken even since it began. The gross has sagged badly into the mid-100s. If it doesn't win Sunday the run could be cut short.

You just did.

Wrong. I'm not starting a rumor which is why I asked if there were any facts to support or debunk these rumors. In any case thank you for those who educated me on the slowness of the season. Wishing nothing but those three shows long life.

I agree with WOSQ-- LOTS of family holidays right now, graduations, anniversaries, Father's Day, school getting out, etc. I bet things pick up in a few weeks.

Oh God. Stop being overly sensitive. I asked a question and got intelligent answers. Get over it.

Wait a minute! I have a sequel?? When did Goldenboy 2 appear. I was told one was enough.
Damn. Please don't confuse me with Goldenboy 2 (no offense Goldenboy 2.. just want to keep it straight... so to speak)

"Oh God. Stop being overly sensitive. I asked a question and got intelligent answers. Get over it."

You're right. I need to come to terms with the fact that not everyone on here is capable of asking meaningful questions and can only spend their time endlessly speculating as to when a show will close or dreamcasting the next revival of Brigadoon. I need to be more tolerant. My bad.

"Check your numbers again."

I think you could have left off "again," as it implies actions that never happened once.

If/Then is in no way in the same category financially as the other two. Numbers, unlike message boards, don't lie.

Can we re-title this thread: "3 shows didn't get great reviews or many award nominations- can we just assume business is bad and they'll probably close?"

Then we'll be able to judge the validity of the information in its correct context.

And the Rocky lovers can clutch their pearls and cry?

For someone who "could care less," you seem to go on and on about it a lot.

Of course, that does make sense, since you literally just said that you care a lot.

Unless you meant to write you "couldn't care less"?!
