1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,640 Speaker 1: Direct from Hollywood with Ryan Seacrest. After entertaining Broadway fans 2 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:06,560 Speaker 1: for thirty five years, the Phantom of the Opera will 3 00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:08,479 Speaker 1: take its final curtain call next month. And while the 4 00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:11,640 Speaker 1: musical might be decades removed from its debut, I didn't 5 00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:13,680 Speaker 1: stop it from setting an incredible new mark. The show 6 00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:16,240 Speaker 1: just enjoyed its best box office week ever, grossing more 7 00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:18,480 Speaker 1: than three million last week. Now, what makes it even 8 00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:21,479 Speaker 1: more remarkable is that the show only performed eight shows 9 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,040 Speaker 1: and still managed to beat prior nine show weeks. Clearly 10 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 1: fans both old and new, trying to squeeze in one 11 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:28,680 Speaker 1: final show before Phantom of the Opera closes for good 12 00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 1: April sixteen. That's Direct from Hollywood,
