Cytat: With top tickets set at an all-time high of $5.50, Cleopatra had amassed as much as $20 million in such guarantees from exhibitors even before its premiere. Fox claimed the film had cost in total $44 million, of which $31,115,000 represented the direct negative cost and the rest distribution, print and advertising expenses. (These figures excluded the more than $5 million spent on the production’s abortive British shoot in 1960–61, prior to its relocation to Italy.)
