THE HIGHEST COLLECTION
According to Variety, “Viva Las Vegas” earned more than “A Hard Day’s Night” despite both films being released in 1964 at the height of Beatlemania.
“Viva Las Vegas” grossed $9,442,967 compared to $6,165,000 for the Beatles’ first film. This was the highest-grossing of any Elvis film, eclipsing his previous all-time hit, 1961’s “Blue Hawaii”, by around $450,000.
No soundtrack album was released for the film at the time the film was in theaters and no official reason has been given for this.
Some theaters chose to feature Ann-Margret over Elvis due to her popularity at the time.
Elvis Presley and Ann-Margret recorded a Jerry Leiber/Mike Stoller piece called “You’re the Boss” as a duet, but it was never used in the film. It has since been released.
