Highest-grossing films

Events

• April 28 — The prototype for the IMAX large-format-film acquisition and screening system is exhibited at Expo 67 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
• July 8 — Vivien Leigh, best known for starring in Gone with the Wind and A Streetcar Named Desire , dies from tuberculosis in London.
• July 15 — Seven Arts Productions acquire substantially all the assets and business of Warner Bros. creating Warner Bros.-Seven Arts.
• August 13 — Bonnie and Clyde , starring Warren Beatty, Faye Dunaway and Gene Hackman, premieres. It breaks many taboos of its time, such as the visual depiction of violence. It will be considered a landmark film in Hollywood filmmaking, with its groundbreaking and ingenious visual styles. The success of Bonnie and Clyde helps bring forth the New Hollywood era, a period of artistic and commercial renewal.
• October 18 — Walt Disney's production of Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book premieres. It is the last animated feature film to be personally supervised by Disney before his death the previous year. It is also one of the last Disney films to be personally approved by him, along with The Happiest Millionaire and Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day . The story's moral message of friendship, love and trust will be embraced by critics and audiences worldwide. The Jungle Book is notable for its realistic character animation and voice casting. The film's soundtrack (scored by George Bruns), which includes the Academy Award-nominated^{[ clarification needed ]} "The Bare Necessities", '"I Wan'na Be Like You", "Trust in Me" and "My Own Home", also contributes to the film's enormous success. It will be the most successful animated film to be made by Disney until The Rescuers , ten years later.
• December 21 — The Graduate , starring Dustin Hoffman (in his acting film debut), Anne Bancroft and Katharine Ross, premieres. It tells a story of an aimless young man, seduced and betrayed by an older woman, while falling in love with her daughter. The theme of an innocent and confused youth who is exploited, misdirected, seduced (literally and figuratively) and betrayed by a corrupt, decadent and discredited older generation (that finds its stability in the film's keyword "plastics") is well understood by film audiences and captures the spirit of the times, in light of the assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy in 1963 and the increasing turbulence in American society in the mid-to-late 1960s. Like Bonnie and Clyde, The Graduate breaks many well-established taboos in American cinema and represents a new era in groundbreaking achievements in filmmaking.
