Hello, Dolly! is often thought of as having a been a huge flop at the box office. In fact, it was one of the highest grossing films of the year it was released. Because its production cost was so high — usually said to have been $25 million — it managed to be one of the highest grossing films of the year and to still have lost a bundle for the 20th Century Fox. Because of the way film rentals work and because of the costs of advertising, it was usually estimated at that time period that a film needed to gross two-and-a-half times its production cost to break even. On its initial release, the film grossed $33 million. So while it was a disaster for the studio, it was actually popular with audiences. Just not nearly popular enough.
