I'm going in January, not because of the movie, but because I got tickets for my birthday, which is around christmas... there might be more interest too because of the holidays... but i don't doubt there'd be more because of the movie as well. there's also been an increase in total broadway attendance recently as well....

This is only somewhat related, but does anyone know about what the weekly running costs for the show are? AKA how much it needs to make in a week to break even?

I don't know the exact figure, but I do know it is relatively low. I'd be interested in that figure as well.

Yeah. The low overhead is one of the reasons that the show has lasted as long as it has. Couple that with the movie and you're going to see the Broadway show definately get SOME kind of a shot in the arm as a result. Hopefully it'll make it last a couple more years at least.
