“Cleopatra” premiered at the Rivoli Theater in New York city and despite being a
critical failure, it won four Academy Awards and was nominated for five more. It was
the highest grossing film of 1963, earning a total of $57.7 million, yet made a loss 
due to its cost of $44 million, the only film ever to be the highest grossing film  
of the year yet to run at a loss.
