How does a show continue to run when very little is taken in at the box office?

Posted by:	joe1956 11:25 am EDT 05/07/15

I admit that I do not know much about how shows are financed. How is it possible that a show continues to run week after week with very poor box office? Aren't the shows investors losing a bundle? When does a show cross the line of no return, and must be closed?
