It was the triple whammy of a Halloween two-performance day, the marathon and the switch to daylight savings time, which in-explicitly always causes a dip in sales.

Some have cited the Mets world series game, but I wonder how much cross-over effect that had?

extending hand to God into the fall was a huge mistake

But I'm sure the producers knew the risk. I think Forbes article reported a $270k weekly. If you take into account the grosses reported have to have 8- 10% taken off, the show has lost money all fall even if they were able to adjust the weekly nut a little lower. They probavly should have done a mini tour in some select cities in the fall and then go to London.

Not quite as uniformly dramatic drops dollar-wise, but yes.

Having Halloween 2015 hit on a two-performance day was no help
