Everywhere else I go, I remember her all the time. The other is called distance vision, Which is the story of three generations of an Italian American family like mine, but fictionalized, during which the phenomenon of television was invented. I would finance it with whatever Megalopolis Does. I’ll want to make another roll of the dice with this one.

Megalopolis could be bad for the future vision

Megalopolis can’t make enough money to profit

It’s fascinating to hear the director talk about self-financing yet another project Far vision. Coppola has had a long and storied career, which has led to speculation that he may retire, which he denies. Coppola self-financed MegalopolisAnd what resulted was an expansion of the budget, production problems with several members of the crew leaving, and difficulty finding distribution even after premiering in Cannes. total, Megalopolis is reported to have cost around $120 millionWith Coppola reportedly selling some of his wineries to establish a line of credit.

Coppola is also hopeful that Megalopolis Will benefit when it hits theaters at the end of September. The $120 million budget makes it so that the film will likely have to make around $300 million or more to break even and then turn a profit. Because the movie comes from one of the most acclaimed directors of all time, and for a film getting an IMAX release, the movie could be profitable. However, with the controversy surrounding MegalopolisThat total can be hard to come by.

MegalopolisInitial reviews were very divisive, which makes for an uphill climb for the Coppola movie. With 68 reviews, Rotten Tomatoes scores for Megalopolis Adds the film to 53%. The second trailer for Megalopolis Even called the reception, but was pulled after it was revealed that the reviews presented in it were not real. Despite the controversy, audiences still have the potential to come out for Megalopolis and future directorial efforts. however, Megalopolis Will have a significant return if Coppola wants to fund Far vision.
