Moulin Rouge! The Musical stole the week, surging $1.11M to $2.20M at just over capacity, edging past Hamilton, which held at $1.97M despite a $151K dip, still crossing 100% capacity at 100.97%. The Lion King eased $71K to $1.82M, and MJ ticked up $43K to $1.73M. The steepest drop belonged to Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, which cratered $856K to $871K as capacity fell from 95% to just 71%.

Among the rest of the roster, The Rocky Horror Show climbed $120K to $949K and Titaníque added $115K to reach $815K, while Aladdin, Chicago, and The Outsiders each continued sliding. Paranormal Activity built strong pre-opening numbers, grossing $729K across its first eight previews at a full house at the August Wilson, ahead of its August 25 opening.
