“Into the Woods” earned more than $2 million for the first time during a week when the Broadway box office remained steady.

For the week ending Aug. 14, the 23 Broadway productions running grossed $27,561,874 and played to about 89% capacity. Grosses are down just 0.4% from last week with capacity down 0.07%, showing a very minimal change.

“Into the Woods,” “Dear Evan Hansen” and “MJ” all played to 100% capacity. Nine other productions played to at least 90% capacity. Only two productions — “Beetlejuice” and “The Kite Runner” — played to less than 70% capacity.

“The Music Man” was the highest-grossing production, followed by “Hamilton” and “The Lion King.” All three grossed more than $2 million.

In the fourth spot, also grossing more than $2 million, was the aforementioned “Into the Woods.” The musical had its best week yet at the box office and played to more than 100% capacity following the news that the revival’s [original Broadway cast extended](https://broadwaynews.com/2022/08/04/current-cast-of-broadways-into-the-woods-extends-through-sept-4/?ref=broadwaynews.com) their run through Sept. 4\. Additional [casting was also announced](https://broadwaynews.com/2022/08/12/stephanie-j-block-sebastian-arcelus-montego-glover-more-to-join-into-the-woods/?ref=broadwaynews.com) through the end of the revival’s limited run.

Two productions ended their respective runs on Aug. 14\. “Tina” closed with its best week in 2022, grossing $1,334,842.40 and playing to nearly 100% capacity, both figures up 28% and 17%, respectively, from last week. “POTUS: Or, Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive” also concluded its run on Sunday. The Selina Fillinger-penned play had its strongest week at the box office, grossing $750,188.10 and playing to nearly 77% capacity. Those figures increased 30% and 19%, respectively, from the previous week.

“Mr. Saturday Night,” which is nearing the end of its Broadway run, saw significant increases in both gross and attendance. The musical earned $704,573.00, up 30%, and played to 73% capacity, up 28% from last week.

Meanwhile, “The Kite Runner” had its lowest-grossing week. The new play brought in $263,929.90, down 14%, and played to 65% capacity, down 7%.

“Beetlejuice” also saw declines in both gross and attendance. The musical earned $929,210.50 and played to just 65% capacity, both figures dropping 15% and 12%, respectively.
