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!
aubrey plaza was on the daily show talking about it, so i assume they were doing the usual TV talk show tour.
Yes, and she was so uncomfortable, nervous and fidgety the whole interview that I’m convinced there’s much more dirt on Coppola and his behavior on set that’s waiting to surface. She might as well have been wearing a T-shirt that said “Please don’t ask me anything about the production of this movie so I don’t get sued”. It was genuinely painful to watch.
Watch her other interviews. She’s always nervous and fidgety. She claims she gets uncomfortable doing those staged interviews for press circuits.
I think you’re reading into a tv interview way too much.
