Budget: $120 million [source]
Opening weekend gross: $4 million
Factoring in marketing costs and the theaters taking their cut of the profits, Megalopolis would need to make at least $300 million to break even. I think it’s safe to say that’s not happening.
It would have been THE worst opening for a $100 million movie ever, had it not been for Pluto Nash’s horriffic opening 22 years ago.
Even The New York Times is reporting near-empty screenings of Megalopolis!
Yeah I never heard of this.
Agreed, not heard of it outside Lemmy. Perhaps I’ve insulated myself from ads a little too well.
I only heard about this because Coppola gave an interview about hiring “cancelled” actors so he didn’t seem “woke”.
Yeah no thanks, FFC. I still remember you defending and bankrolling a CONVICTED child predator.
Yeah but usually if something is good, people will want to discuss it. This has gotten no hype, no post release discussion. It’s a ghost.
Really odd for such a big budget movie.
I’ve mostly heard about the controversies (the fake AI quotes in the trailer, some alleged #metoo stuff on set, …). Reviews seem very mixed, some reviewers hate it, others love it, which makes me think some of them just don’t ‘get’ it?
