I couldn't find a post related to this.
When are weekly grosses posted on playbill.com? I would imagine sometime on Monday, but they're not up yet.

I usually find the grosses Tuesday mornings on Playbill.com
A couple things about these grosses: We never get a potential gross (all seats sold at full price-Variety does provide a capacity potential figure), nor do we have even estimated breakevens.
Percentages are tricky. The percent of seats sold reflects sold-at-any-price ranging from TDF tickets at about $25-30 to full price tix with group sales, coupon, flyer and TKTS tix in between. If a show sells 100% of the seats at TDF prices, it will close. It is all about the dollars and not the number of butts in the seats.

The box office figures are almost always up no later that 6:30 Monday evening.
Playbill does provide the the average ticket price so it's pretty easy to see which shows are heavily discounting and which ones aren't. For example, Brooklyn's average ticket price last week was $52.73, Rent's was $49.34 and Laugh Whore was at $39.73. Compare that to Wicked which offered no discounts and had an average ticket price of $81.56, The Lion King at $79.37 and Mamma Mia at $79.31.
