The key background.
Elf is the highest grossing Christmas movie of all time, bringing in $173 million in domestic box office earnings on a $33 million budget. In October, he told the Hollywood Reporter that he turned down a $29 million offer to reprise his role in an Elf sequel because he didn't want to promote a subpar film as a cash grab.
The most ever for an on-set item was $5.37 million for the Robby the Robot prop from the movie Forbidden Planet. The car that was used in the filming of Goldfinger sold for $6.4 million in 2019, but it sold for $4.7 million in 2010. Marilyn Monroe's dress from The Seven Year Itch sold for over five million dollars, while the maltese falcon statue from The Maltese Falcon sold for over four million dollars.
