I think Matilda and Neverland could go either way. They both had great summers, and only slumped in the last few weeks. If they manage to pick it back up again, they should both be fine.
When having these sorts of discussions, is it better to site a show's gross percentage, or their actual gross? Obviously every show has a different running cost, so not every percentage is going to equal out to the same level of success.
If we're going by percentage, Phantom and Something rotten are also on the lower end of the spectrum. I would. Chicago, Kinky Boots, Jersey Boys and Les Mis have all been mentioned on this thread as possible closers, yet all 4 of those shows did a bit better than Phantom and Rotten last week, in terms of percentage.

Shows with far weaker box office in their first 6 months than "Finding Neverland" have survived the fall/ winter months. If FN's nut is between 600-700K , I could see them muddling through the low period. We know most shows are going to dip this time of the year, the question is how much do they fall.

Finding Neverland’s exodus could be because it started at the ART last Aug/Sep. If most of the ensemble and backstage people were attached to it from the very beginning, it’s been about a year, hence time to go. Teal Wicks came on board only for Broadway and she’s showing no signs of leaving. (Then again, Laura Michelle Kelly has been with it since workshops, so… eh.) Kelsey leaving was because Kelsey is Kelsey. Matthew is leaving in January, if he doesn’t extend – source: talking to the theater staff.
Re: other shows, I’m surprised that Kinky Boots is still going.

Newsies is 100% wrong.
"It's in a tiny house and has a cast of six, it's not exactly an expensive investment."
Any show on Broadway is an expensive investment.

But compared to other shows its not the typical 11 million dollar investment
