If you want to break the box office, you get an A-list star – and Broadway's learning that that's as true in theater as it is on the silver screen.
With movie stars on the marquees of its plays, Broadway is seeing one of its best fall seasons in recent years, selling $21.1 million from Oct. 12 to 18, according to The New York Times.
A Steady Rain has grossed over $1 million, thanks to stars Daniel Craig and Hugh Jackman. Meanwhile, Shakespeare is hot as never before, with Jude Law raking in $904,914 last week, bringing total box office receipts for Broadway to $21.1 million for the week of Oct. 12 to 18.

• Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint, arriving in "disguise" to the U.K.'s Reading Festival to check out the punk band Gallows. The Harry Potter stars sported matching helmets and goggles – think old-school biker style! – as they cheered from the side of the NME/Radio 1 stage. Earlier in the day, the costars met up with Frank Carter, the band's frontman, for a chat and some photos in an outdoor VIP area.

Daniel Radcliffe: Women Are Catching Up with Me

He was one wet wizard at Tuesday's world premiere of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince in London, where the torrential downpours and thunder drenched series star Daniel Radcliffe.
"I'm feeling a bit guilty, to be honest, as I've made them wait in the rain," the star, 19, said about the fans, some of whom had camped overnight for a glimpse of him and costars Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, who recovered from a bout of swine flu to attend.
And while usually mum on his dating activities, Radcliffe did let slip, "I've been out with a couple of women who have been older than me. I think it's the maturity thing more than anything else, but that was when I was younger – girls my age are now mature, so it's great. I've widened the field!"

Emma Watson Plans U.S. College – Minus Scary Spring Break
Originally posted 04/21/2009 12:10PM
It's no secret Emma Watson – a.k.a. Hermione Granger in Harry Potter's world – wants a degree from an American college, preferably an Ivy League school like Brown. At U.S. universities "you're encouraged to be broad and choose many different subjects," the U.K.-bred actress tells this month's Interview magazine.
But there's a American-college ritual that the star, 19, currently at work on the seventh and eighth installments of Harry Potter, plans to skip: a crazy spring break on a sunny beach.

Mark your calendar: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II will be released July 15, 2011, Warner Bros. has announced.
Part I of the film will open Nov. 19, 2010, the studio said last August. Both films are based on the 608-page seventh book in author J.K. Rowling's series.
In all, the first five Harry Potter movies, with a maturing Daniel Radcliffe in the lead, have made $4.5 billion internationally, surpassing the box-office records of both the James Bond and Star War series.
In other news from Warners, director Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes, starring Robert Downey Jr. as the great detective and Jude Law as sidekick Dr. Watson, will not open this coming Nov. 1, as originally planned, but on Christmas Day.

First Look at New Harry Potter Poster

The book series may be finished, but the movies aren't. Make way for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
The sixth installment of the seven-part screen adventures is set to open July 17 – but here PEOPLE presents a first look at the poster for this highly anticipated release.
For those with dim memories of the 2005 novel: When the Dark Side begins making waves in the wizardry world, Harry (Daniel Radcliff) starts private defense classes with Dumbledore (Michael Gambon), all the while learning the history of his enemy, Voldemort (Ralph Finnes). His source? A journal by the half-blooded prince.
As for whether Harry or the Dark Side shall prevail, Muggles will just have to wait and see.
