It was another spectacular, spectacular week for Moulin Rouge!, which again broke the box-office record at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre. The stage adaptation of the Baz Luhrmann movie, which officially opened July 25, took in $2,203,609 for the week ending October 13.
It was also a record-breaking week for Aaron Sorkin’s To Kill a Mockingbird, which broke its own box-office record for the ninth time, grossing $2,244,415. The play, based on the classic Harper Lee novel, holds the title of the highest-grossing American play in Broadway history, and has now amassed a total gross of $100,000,000 at the Shubert Theatre.
Tops at the box office once again was the Pulitzer Prize-winning Hamilton ($3,090,992); also among the top four, the long-running, Tony-winning musical The Lion King ($2,242,450).
