Coppola's Megalopolis Disappoints at Box Office

Francis Ford Coppola's long-anticipated film 'Megalopolis' opened to a disappointing $4 million at the domestic box office, ranking sixth among weekend releases. Despite its $120 million budget funded by Coppola himself, the film failed to capture a broad audience, receiving a poor 'D+' CinemaScore rating. Critics and audiences were divided; while some praised its ambitious vision, others described it as a chaotic mess. Coppola, however, remains unfazed by the financial loss, emphasizing his commitment to art over profit. The film stars Adam Driver, Aubrey Plaza, and Giancarlo Esposito, and presents a futuristic retelling of Roman history set in New Rome.
