Sting's Broadway musical The Last Ship is performing poorly at the box office, according to new reports.
The show, which opened October 26, already has a cash-flow problem, taking in only $100,000 per night, considerably less than the $250,000-$350,000 that successful shows need to take in.
During previews, it grossed little more than $500,000 a week, believed to be less than its weekly budget.
The report adds that show producers aren't going to give up easily, as they are going to release a new commercial in the hopes of generating sales, especially with the potentially lucrative holiday season looming.
While Sting has been lauded for his score, critics have been mixed on the production.
