How much global revenue did the following titles make in both film and theatre performances from launch to date: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Hairspray, Jersey Boys, Mamma Mia, The phantom of the opera
Hello! Thanks for your question about global revenues for film and theatre performances. The short answer is that for most productions, the theatre version either does as well as the movie version or substantially better. Below you will find a deep dive of my findings.
METHODOLOGY
To answer your question I first conducted a general inquiry to identify resources that could provide the required details. Based on my research, the two most reputable resources appeared to be The Numbers and Playbill. I've compiled your requested data in this spreadsheet (including sources).
CONCLUSION
To wrap it up, in nearly all instances the theatre performances of a given story provide substantially more revenue than the film performances. The only exception to this is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, which is likely in part due to the fact that the theatre show has only been running for a short period so far. While films typically have a limited run, many stage performances may continue for years. I must say that I was blown away by the revenues from Phantom of the Opera! This was very interesting research!
