The Big Store premiered

June 20, 1941

Advertised as their farewell film (they went on to appear in two more,) The Big Store, starring the Marx Brothers and Margaret Dumont (in her final appearance in a Marx Bros. film) premiered on this date.

This film made MGM the modest profit of $33,000 according to studio records. But, it was the best-performing picture of the final three the Marx Brothers made at MGM.
