Roberts brings in big Broadway box office

Julia Roberts' Broadway debut Three Days of Rain grossed a massive $988,298 (€814,000) during its first full week of preview performances.

The New York show, which also features 40-Year-Old Virgin star Paul Rudd, is a hit with critics and looks set to smash box office records.

The eight performances, which began on March 28, played to 101% - which includes standing room - at the Bernard B Jacobs Theatre.

The Richard Greenberg play will officially open on April 19.
