The opening week gross of $119,006 would be equivalent to about $2.3 million in 2018.

Average daily attendance during first week was 23,692, which would include adults as well as children for this beloved “family” classic.

Did this play for 3 weeks? Even holdovers of 2 weeks at this time were rare.

What were people doing cutting school and work to fill up those seats during weekdays? Seems impossible to believe today.

“Little Women” ran for a full three weeks at the Music Hall, replaced on December 7th, 1933, by “Counsellor-At-Law” on screen. RKO then moved “Little Women” to the New Roxy (sans stage show) prior to a circuit release for the Christmas holidays.

Neglected to mention that the third week started on Thanksgiving Day, which fell on November 30th that year. In that era, the holiday was celebrated on the last Thursday in November (later changed by Federal law to the fourth Thursday of that month).
