Broadway dropped sharply to $27.00M — down 19.91% week-over-week and 9.36% versus the same week last season — as the post-summer correction arrived and the roster contracted to 27 productions following the closing of Ragtime, which ended its run at the Beaumont on August 16. Hamilton led all shows at $2.12M at just under 100% capacity, while The Lion King eased $349K to $1.89M as the nine-performance summer boost faded. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child held near $1.73M, and Ragtime went out in style with $1.96M at a full Beaumont — its best average ticket price of the run at $233. Moulin Rouge! The Musical rebounded $111K to $1.08M, and MJ held near $1.69M.

Among the rest of the roster, The Lost Boys eased to $1.24M and The Outsiders slipped to $832K as the post-summer market reset broadly. Paranormal Activity began previews at the August Wilson ahead of its August 25 opening, adding one new title to the pipeline.
