Francis Ford Coppola's Passion Project 'Megalopolis' Flops at the Box Office
Francis Ford Coppola's highly anticipated film Megalopolis hit theaters last week, but the results have left fans and critics in shock. Initially projected to rake in $7 million during its opening weekend, the film fell dramatically short, earning only $4 million. What factors contributed to this unexpected box office failure for a director of Coppola's caliber? Join us as we delve into the details of this cinematic misfire and explore the challenges faced by Megalopolis in today’s competitive film landscape!
Francis Ford Coppola described Megalopolis as his "passion project," and it was one of the most talked-about films of 2024.
The 85-year-old master director sold his winery and invested about $120 million to make the film.
However, it seems that this passion project did not take off as expected.
Starring Adam Driver, Giancarlo Esposito, and Nathalie Emmanuel, the film earned only $4 million at the box office during its opening week, essentially flopping.
Additionally, it received numerous negative reviews from both critics and moviegoers.
The film scored 4.9 out of 10 on Rotten Tomatoes and was criticized by viewers as having a 'careless and unconvincing narrative.'
Coppola, the director of Apocalypse Now and The Godfather, had a lot of confidence in this film, which took a long time to produce.
However, that confidence did not translate to box office success. Many viewers took to social media to express that they felt their time was wasted while watching the film.
Set in a utopian future in the new city of Rome, Megalopolis focuses on the conflict between artist Cesar Catilina and the greedy mayor Franklyn Cicero.
Julia Cicero finds herself caught between her father and her lover. Have you watched the film?
