Ah, the sweet smell of Betrayal! Harold Pinter’s drama starring Daniel Craig, Rachel Weisz and Rafe Spall went out with a bang with a whopping $17.5 million cumulative gross for its limited engagement playing to 100 percent capacity at the Barrymore Theatre. The Mike Nichols-directed production proved that the people do come out for plays when 007 takes the stage (and his real-life Oscar winning wife helps!). The usual suspects of Wicked, The Lion King, The Book of Mormon and Kinky Boots took the top spots joined by Spidey himself, who made his final swing through the Great White Way before heading to Las Vegas.
