In the Realm of the Senses
Rather than leasing prints to exhibitors, the distributor rented theaters that specialized in foreign and art films for the purpose of screening "Caligula" exclusively in order to keep the film out of theaters that showed pornographic films. In 1981, the Brazilian Board of Censors approved the establishment of special theaters to screen "In the Realm of the Senses" and "Caligula" because they were international box office hits.
