| I don't have the biz knowledge to comment beyond speculation, but I'd guess that this drop to 63% of $$ capacity might be the number to look at, too. They sold 76% of the seats, but at such a lower rate, and in the middle of summer. This week is in the middle of a record-setting run, not the first week of a winter extension beyond a star's contract. Does a decent box office reflect interest in the show? Some, it seems to. But again, that interest is tethered to a hit product as it coasts along breaking records. What would the third week of January look like with Murphy? Kind of hard to imagine it could look like this week, or have an advance. Just speculation. |
