I know the storm effected nearly every show, but could this be a sign for a Matilda closing?

No, its one week, relax your basically saying An American in Paris and Beautiful are gonna close also. The grosses will pick up as they always do in the spring. This week was just a really bad week because of the snow. I mean Book of Mormon and Wicked made under 1M, and they aren't closing soon.

How the F*** did Hamilton still make over $1.3 million during a blizzard weekend ! 
Nice exit grosses for Spring Awakening and Matt Morrison in Neverland.

The loss of two Saturday performances is a hardship for every show…those are obviously the BIG draw performances.

LOL at HAMILTON still making over a million with 6 performances...

I don't think it's over quite yet. Winter is rough. Just 3 weeks ago, Matilda was at 100% capacity and over 100% in gross potential.

A show like Matilda has family crowds on Saturdays, so missing two Saturday performances was a real blow, more so than Hamilton, where every show is sold out no matter what day.

I'm surprised Finding Neverland didn't even get more of a bump since it was Kelsey Grammer's first week back and Matthew Morrison's last week. (And I'm basing it off of pot. gross and capacity, not the gross itself which is lower due to snow day :)

I really don't think the stars make a difference to FN anymore. The numbers didn't really change when Morrison was on vacation. It's selling now on the brand of "Finding Neverland" rather than on Grammer or Morrison. Just my hunch.

Probably right. But still, I would've expected a few more people (which there were, but even more maybe). I went this week specifically to see Morrison and Grammer together (and the show itself, of course) and it was a great time.

Damn did American in Paris go down!
Can't believe how decently Noises Off is doing...I found that show to be very disappointing and hard to sit through at times.

An American in Paris is on TDF for tomorrow's shows. Kind of surprising.

I had no clue Saturday was such a huge chunk of the weekly gross for most shows. The top several shows lost approximately $600,000 each. That's rough.

Would the operating costs for the shows have gone down? Or did they still have to pay the actors for the full week?

Considering that a good number of company, crew, and house staff were already at their respective theaters when they decided to not have the Saturday performances, I hope that they are still paid the full week.
