With a budget of $120 million, Francis Ford Coppola's "Megalopolis" grossed only $4 million on its opening weekend, making it one of the worst box office openings for a $100M+ movie to date.

Yeah I never heard of this.

Agreed, not heard of it outside Lemmy. Perhaps I’ve insulated myself from ads a little too well.

I only heard about this because Coppola gave an interview about hiring “cancelled” actors so he didn’t seem “woke”.

Yeah no thanks, FFC. I still remember you defending and bankrolling a CONVICTED child predator.

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.

I’ve mostly heard about the controversies (the fake AI quotes in the trailer, some alleged #metoo stuff on set, …). Reviews seem very mixed, some reviewers hate it, others love it, which makes me think some of them just don’t ‘get’ it?
