Coppola's Megalopolis faced significant challenges before its release, including a problematic trailer with AI-generated reviews, raising questions about its box office potential.
Despite its illustrious cast and the director's track record, Megalopolis is projected to debut with only $5-$7 million, underperforming against expectations and past projects.
Coppola self-financed Megalopolis to the tune of $120 million, highlighting his commitment but also the risks inherent in betting on a high-budget, unproven concept.
Past controversies, including allegations of misconduct on set, have added to the negative buzz surrounding Megalopolis, complicating its reception ahead of its release.
