Overview
- Box-office totals for the week ending Sept. 27 fell 11% to $24,093,388 with attendance down 11% to 209,194, per The Broadway League.
- Hamilton led the week with $2.6 million in grosses as Christopher Jackson returned to the role of George Washington through Jan. 3, making it the only sellout among major shows.
- Harry Potter and the Cursed Child rebounded to about $1.57 million after Tom Felton resumed the role of Draco Malfoy, a jump of roughly $607,000 from the prior week.
- One-off factors distorted weekly comparisons: Broadway Week discounts ended the previous week and a largely comped gala had pulled down earlier reported grosses for Paranormal Activity.
- Season-to-date totals through week 18 stand at $565,480,589, down about 7% year-over-year, a pattern that shows roster changes, promotions and weather can mask underlying demand trends and complicate revenue planning for producers.
