Wolverine and James Bond were staring on Broadway this week and they sold every ticket available. That’s right. Hugh Jackman and Daniel Craig on the same stage. They’ve drawn record ticket sales for their play “A Steady Rain,” but it drew mixed reviews on Wednesday after opening night.

USA Today raved that the two actors put in “stellar turns,” but The New York Times’ verdict was “Big names, little show.”

Taking in $1.17 million in the week ending September 20, the play broke the record of the highest weekly box office gross for a non-musical production said the producers. In this time of recession, Craig and Jackman are among the big name stars producers hope will boost sales on Broadway.
