Broadway’s Spider-Man Succeeds

Digg / Television  Mon, 11/28/2011 - 10:11

Does this mean Glenn Beck was right? Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark is succeeding despite horrible reviews last year, according to The New York Times.

The show’s producers are now saying for the first time that they think they can recoup their entire investment from the show’s Broadway run (previously, they said they thought they would need national and overseas franchises of the show).

Still, the show will need to be a long-running hit along the lines of Wicked or The Lion King, as producers invested $75 million and the show brings in between $100,000 and $300,000 in profits each week.

The false self-deprecation, and the fact that Google cross-references “James Franco” and “douche” with over 600,000 results.

In the interest of scale, Nic Cage only clocks in at around 48,000 hits, and he’s been around a lot longer.
