Broadway Grosses w/e 10/14/2018: Leaves Are Falling, Grosses Remain Steady
Overall grosses remained steady at $33M this week. Coming off of the three day weekend, many individual shows saw decreases, but the addition of Torch Song and a few extra previews for new fall shows meant that the overall numbers were stable.
The autumn season is now fully underway with 8 new productions recently opening or in previews. The tightest tickets seem to be The Ferryman and King Kong, moving 94% and 100% of tickets respectively. The highest average paid ticket among the new productions was The Lifespan of a Fact at $124.
