Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Citizen Kane, despite its critical acclaim and later recognition as one of the greatest films ever made, was not a box office success upon its initial release in 1941. This was partly due to the limited distribution it received as a result of the backlash from William Randolph Hearst, who sought to suppress the film due to its supposed portrayal of his life.
