That's actually a better gross than I expected for COME FROM AWAY with just 3 performances. Good to see! Worried already about SIGNIFICANT OTHER. I hope it can find an audience.

A Bronx Tale continues to surprise and impress me! I still wonder why In Transit is continuing to run, one would hope their grosses would have picked up more than they did for the long weekend.

The show is still on track to recoup, but the reviews definitely hurt it. The advance was strong, but the word of mouth and reviews quashed that a bit. But even with Blanchett, a three-hour play about sad Russians--based on an obscure, rarely produced work of Chekhov--was always going to be a hard sell. Had Blanchett come to Broadway in a revival of STREETCAR or some similar classic play, it'd be untouchable.
Nice to see how well THE PRICE is doing out of the gate--almost completely sold out for its first few performances.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."
-John Guare, Landscape of the Body
Just interesting to see how both Dear Evan Hansen and Hamilton earned less money ($48,434 and $36,887) this week compared to last week, especially when it was a holiday weekend. My guess is that they sold less premium seats (and thus more standard-priced seats) this week compared to the week before?

Also add in Valentine's Day last week. I'm sure that it added a nice little boost to a performance (Tuesday night in February) that's typically a bit on the bleaker side.
Out of the gate numbers (including especially partial week ones) are not a valid basis for optimism (or pessimism).
Some of these shows everyone is so excited about (e.g., Sunset) are likely gravely disappointing to the producers and investors: it seems unlikely the show can recoup in the time it has at those numbers.

I don't think Hamilton premium vs regular differs much week to week, given that the show is sold out months in advance, no?

While you are right that may happen, the word of mouth for CFA is much stronger than it was for Allegiance. I think that will really help the show out.
I've certainly been doing my part to help CFA. Told people back at the hotel bar how good it was, told the pilot of my airplane back home about it and even gave it a review on Its Facebook page which I've never done for any show. Haven't been this excited about a show since Pippin at A.R.T. I really hope it sees the continued success it deserves.

Agreed but hence why I wonder why its profit this week was $36k less compared to the week before. I'm not losing sleep over it but just curious. Given how Hamilton is sold out for the next several months, I'd imagine its gross would relatively be the same week to week (plus or minus less than $10k)

No idea about Hamilton, but I suspect for DEH we'll see quite a bit of fluctuation, even when sold out, due to people purchasing at the Belasco prices instead of the Music Box prices, or any other price changes. People are more likely to buy ahead of time for a holiday weekend than they are for a random weekend in Feb.

But the difference between not knowing an answer and speculating to make one up is how religion began...

They're also completely different types of shows about distinctly different historical events. Come From Away's grosses don't surprise me, and I do think it'll maintain momentum...
There are myriad reasons why the gross in any given frame might be off from the preceding one, and we are talking about de minimis differences. $48k over 8 performances is $6000 a show. A few extra comps here, a few more premium there, how many house seat entitlements were executed? were any seats out of service? was there a special situation? There is no way that anyone looking in from the outside can rationalize this as if it were some piece of finely tuned machinery. The bottom line is: what difference could a 1% variation make to anyone here or there?
COME FROM AWAY's grosses will be interesting this week. A holiday week, plus three shows (out of 7) offered the $38 rush seats. The show, for the most part, looks nearly sold out this week.
