During the almost two decades after acquiring the movie rights to
Atlas Shrugged from the Estate of
Ayn Rand, Aglialoro optioned the rights to several notable producers. In 2011, facing expiration of the rights, Aglialoro decided to finance the production and distribution himself to bring the epic novel to the screen. Since the book is more than 1200 pages separated into three parts, he and fellow producer
Harmon Kaslow decided that filming each part separately would enable more of the book's message to be delivered cinematically. On April 15, 2011,
Atlas Shrugged: Part I premiered and ultimately played on 700 screens in the US, earning $5M at the box office. Aglialoro shared screenplay credit for his work on the script. With the participation of additional executive producers, Aglialoro produced
Atlas Shrugged: Part II, which debuted in October 2012 on 1200 screens. The third and final part of the trilogy,
Atlas Shrugged Part III: Who Is John Galt?, opened on 200 screens. The movies were critically panned but Aglialoro received an award from the
Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation, and an Anthem Film Festival Award (for filmmakers who care about individuality and libertarian ideals). Aglialoro continues to consider partnering with other producers for a re-make or multi-part feature. Using the technology tools developed for the distribution process required for
Atlas Shrugged, Aglialoro formed Atlas Distribution in 2014. The company provides comprehensive services for theatrical film distribution through is proprietary Cinema CloudWorks system. ==Personal life==
