Well, Michael Moore succeeded in getting the presidents attention.

On Saturday evening, six days after The Terms of My Surrender, Mr. Moores solo show decrying President Trump, closed on Broadway, the president took a gleeful jab at the liberal provocateur on Twitter.

Mr. Trumps assertion that the show was forced to close is incorrect. The show had been announced in May as a 12-week limited run, and it ran the full 12 weeks.

Michael Moores Broadway show was always meant to be a limited engagement, said Rick Miramontez, a spokesman for the show. It closed, as planned, on Sunday, Oct. 22. It was not forced to close early.

Mr. Trumps assertion that the show was a total bomb is a matter of opinion, and in a barrage of tweets late Saturday, Mr. Moore declared his show a smash hit before touting his production and taunting the president.

Given the shows limited run and modest grosses, neither the phrase total bomb nor smash hit seems to be a precise description of its financial performance. The capitalization costs are not public for The Terms of My Surrender, which was produced by IMG Original Content and Carole Shorenstein Hays. But it played to houses that were often about three-quarters full, and its weekly grosses ranged from about $260,000 to $460,000. It took in $4.2 million over all and was seen by 74,484 people, according to the Broadway League.
