The Truman Show was a 60 million dollar production.

The Truman Show made approximately 31 million dollars on it's opening week.

The Truman Show was first released in the United States and Canada on June 5th. Some places in the world still haven't been able to see it. It's last release date is on November 26th.

Paramount Pictures, Andrew Niccol (Screenwriter), and Scott Rudin (Producer) are facing a lawsuit which was brought on by a New York writer who claims that the Truman Show was his idea. He has said that in 1992, he submitted a script to Paramount called "Frank's Life" which was rejected. In defense, Paramount has showed a document which was copyrighted by Andrew Niccol in 1991 and titled The Malcom Show. The description of the story was:

"Malcolm is the star of a 24-hour continuous soap opera in the future but doesn't know it. He has been filmed by hidden cameras every second of his life... 'The Malcolm Show' has been running since his birth. The show has 16 producers, all his family and friends are actors... all the strangers that he sees in the street are extras."
