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!

Yeah but usually of something is good, people will want to discuss it. This has gotten no hype, no post release discussion. It’s a ghost.

Really odd for such a big budget movie.
