🧐 Did You Know❓

The 1963 film Cleopatra nearly bankrupted 20th Century Fox 💸

🎬 What was supposed to be a $2M production ballooned into a $44M disaster — over $400 million in today’s money!

👑 Starring Elizabeth Taylor as Cleopatra, the film was plagued by delays, on-set drama, and one of the most talked-about romances in Hollywood history (Taylor + Burton = 💔🔥).

🏛️ It forced the studio to sell massive assets and rethink how big-budget films were made.

Despite the chaos, Cleopatra won 4 Oscars and changed Hollywood forever.

Sometimes, a single film reshapes an entire industry. 🎥✨
