Theatrical Releases
When it was released in France in 1966, King of Hearts was not especially successful critically or at the box office with only 141,035 admissions. However, when released in the United States a year later, it achieved bona fide cult-film status, eventually running for five years at the Central Square Theater in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and other repertoire movie theaters.

Famous quotes containing the words theatrical and/or releases:
“The popularity of that baby-faced boy, who possessed not even the elements of a good actor, was a hallucination in the public mind, and a disgrace to our theatrical history.”
—Thomas Campbell (1777–1844)
“We need a type of theatre which not only releases the feelings, insights and impulses possible within the particular historical field of human relations in which the action takes place, but employs and encourages those thoughts and feelings which help transform the field itself.”
—Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)
