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!
I’ve actually been looking forward to this, ans this is the first I’ve heard if it actually releasing.
I don’t know what’s up with film marketing these past few years, but I miss almost all of it, despite being interested.
I feel the same.
