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!
We truly seem to be living in a time of entertainment correction.
All the millions of dollars spent on monies video games and TV shows only for them to flop over and over.
What a time to be alive.
Eh this film was not made to make Blockbuster profit. It’s a dream project by one of the most accomplished directors, and probably his last one. He’s had flops before that are now considered masterpieces.
