The 1925 version cost $4 million, and starred silent screen idols Ramon Novarro and Francis X. Bushman. BEN-HUR opened in late 1925 to tepid reviews and a torrid box-office. Although the picture grossed nine million dollars, its huge expenses made it a loser for MGM yet helped to give MGM a reputation for quality work.
