Today, in theater terms it means, "Good Luck." But it is said because people used to say that there were bad spirits in the theater so people would say "Break a Leg" so the spirits would do the opposite thing. If someone said "Good Luck" it supposedly would be bad because the spirits, again, would do the opposite.
