To make up for the controversial previous trailer that had those phony movie critic quotes for past Francis Ford Coppola films.

“From visionary writer and director Francis Ford Coppola, who hasn’t made a good movie in years, comes a masterpiece y’all too stupid to appreciate.”

"‘MEGALOPOLIS’ is tracking to earn $5M-$7M on its domestic box office opening weekend.
The film had a $120M budget."

I predicted this would flop hard. |

Well $11.00 of that will be mine. The only perk of turning 60 last month, I can get the Senior Discount now.

No surprise there. It was shaping to be a box office flop, but will it be the biggest box office bomb of the year? Perhaps, Gladiator II has more mass appeal despite a sky-high production budget. |

If the low gross keeps up, this could be a flop on the level of "Pluto Nash" (if it hasn't already been).

Saw it last night, there were seven of us in the auditorium. Two left maybe 45 minutes at most into the movie. It's hard to describe the movie, it's a mess without a clear narrative, going in many directions and themes and not doing and especially great job of juggling them. For instance, Caesar's ability to freeze time plays out simply as a gimmick and doesn't serve the story in any way. Yet it's featured so prominently in the trailers. But as messy as it is, it is mesmerizing to watch and the actors all really do a fine job in their roles. There were sequences in the movie that I was thinking "WTF is Coppola doing", but more sequences where his genius still shined through. Overall I have to say that I did really enjoy it, it's an experience more than it is a movie. I'm seriously rating it a 7/10.
