Thanks to bad reviews, shitty marketing, and a changed release date, this remake of Ben-Hur never caught on outside of its core Christian audience. That is unfortunate for MGM, who dumped an insane amount of money into a troubled production which included a 45-day shoot for a 10 minute chariot scene that was moved to a studio after Rome refused to allow filming in the colosseum.
