Coppola’s MEGALOPOLIS made just $1.8M yesterday—which includes $775k from Thursday previews and another $300k from exclusive showings earlier this week.

    I desperately want to see this film and go in completely blind. I haven’t seen a single second of footage from this movie. The reception seems like it’s at a complete divide.

    Either this film is a masterpiece and modern art.

    Or it’s abominable trash.

  2. I seem to recall there being stories of his family being upset about Francis selling one of his Wineries to make this movie…this would be a good reason to be upset all things considered.

    Unlike most Lionsgate bombs this year, the failure will be all on Coppola and not on the studio.

  4. Honest to God, I hate to be this guy this early in the film’s reception, but it wasn’t that bad at all.

    I found 80% of the comedy to be very intentional and funny, that thing with the virgin and what happened afterwards was funny!

    I’ll say this as well, I haven’t seen a film this earnest since he was scared stupid, and the earnest stuff didn’t work – but the rest did in my humble opinion.

    Since this is a box office sub I’ll clarify that I don’t think it’s commercial at all – but it was not one of the worst films ever made, not even close

  5. I had this at 3M, under the 5M-7M estimate after the 300k Monday previews, but if it’s at 1.8M now 3M may be an over

    Attendance was highest during previews. Saturday is sparse and Sunday is nonexistent. To hit just 3M it would have to almost double its earnings by the end of the weekend

    Edit: Original tweet a little confusingly worded, the 770k included the 300k Monday previews, meaning it earned 470k Thursday and 1.03M Friday.

  6. Already the highest grossing movie with a Coppola name on it as a director for 2024

    Bur if counting Nic Cage, it is the lowest grossing Coppola movie with a wide release of 2024
