Is it correct that the show only sells at 50% at the moment??

Well, if you're looking at this week's grosses, it only has 2 performances, so that could of had something to do with it.
And it was closed because they were putting in a new sound system, so they're obviously not that concerned about it, if they're going to spend any amount of money on fixing things up.

Rent has been at 50-60% for several weeks now. It has nothing to do with the fact that the theatre is closed for a week. The % is the number of seats sold for the performances which DID take place. They better hope that the movie puts people in seats at the Neder.

The end of August/begining of September is rough on all shows, not just RENT. If you look over the summer, it reached the 80's and 90's at certain points. No need to worry. Every September there's a "is RENT closing" thread, but I thought with the movie coming out that discussion wouldn't happen this year lol

It's not a Rent is closing thread. Have a look at the grosses, though, only two shows were at a figure lower than Rent last week. Many shows were in the 80's and 90's so no, they're not ALL doing poorly. Same with the week prior, only two or three below them, and many way above. And the week before that, and the week before that. While it's true that this time of year usually has a lull, it's worse than usual for Rent this year, and not as bad for most other shows.

This may be a tough months for shows. But some shows are doing remarkable (Chicago and especially Sweet Charity, which made a complete turn around)
The movie will help Rent.

The show also has a very low break even figure and has been in profit since it was about six months into its Broadway run (or thereabouts). The numbers aren't giving anyone any cause for concern just yet.
Nothing precious, plain to see, don't make a fuss over me. Not loud, not soft, but somewhere inbetween. Say sorry, just let it be the word you mean.

Since Jan of this year, it's been at appx 74 percent capacity on average. The show isn't going anywhere

Exactly. Rent is still making money and does have significant variability in its audience numbers. When shows are doing bad, they're in the 40-50% range consistently. Rent bounces back and forth anywhere between 50s and 90s. Just in August, it was in the high 80s.
