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!

Hot take here and I havent seen it but it has all the signs of being that one late in life misunderstood film that everyone realizes later is completely genius 🤷♂️
You're describing a cult classic, but I think this will be hard given the absolute shitheads Coppola cast for this movie.
Shia LeBeouf sexually assaulted and strangled FKA Twigs, and Jon Voight is all-in for Israel and is cheering on genocide in Gaza. They're despicable people.
I don't think this movie will ever glow up. At best, people will watch it ironically.
Oooof. Fuck, I had forgotten the horrors of the cast. Shitfucks. Ok well i probably won’t see it then.
