Denzel Washington, Jake Gyllenhaal's 'Othello' Brings In $2.6 Million

The play began previews last week with a high average ticket price of $361.90.

Othello, starring Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal, brought in a massive $2.6 million across its first seven performances on Broadway. The totals made Othello the highest grossing show on Broadway last week, beating out Wicked, which has held the top spot for months, propelled by momentum from the film. Several other new shows are also gearing up for the spring season, including Purpose, the new political family drama by Tony Award-winner Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, directed by Phylicia Rashad and starring LaTanya Richardson Jackson.
