It's not the producers of Show A that decide to close in order for Show B to come in (unless we're talking about Disney because that has actually happened), it's the theatre owners applying a bit of pressure to the producers of Show A."

That's not how it works. The only pressure theater owners can apply is a stop clause."

Which the Neaderlanders executed on The Little Mermaid, Addams Family, and Motown. 

Correction* Motown was pushed out for Finding Neverland..

The stop clause has been utilized many, many times. My point was that theater owners can't just arbitrarily "apply pressure" to evict a show. Very narrow and specific conditions need to exist.
