We predict the results of our worst election yet by looking back at the last 5 (!) winners and their shocking (!!) box office counterparts. Sorry in advance!!!
Since 1836, total, probably Georg Büchner's unfinished Woyzeck, however the #1 most profitable domestically could have been a Broadway adaptation of T.S. Fay's Norman Leslie. The novel was the ire of Edgar Allen Poe, however, and as the not-yet-popular Poe was not much a fan of Van Buren either (see "The Devil in the Belfry" (1836), it's possible that the successful play's rising 6-year run foretold my man Marty's win.
what play do you think was the most profitable the year Martin Van Buren was elected?
