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!

This is the first time I'm hearing about this movie, likely terrible advertising plan
Really? I've been hearing about it for months. It was having trouble finding a distributor for theaters, despite the budget and the star power, which was seen as a bad sign. It's being marketed as Francis Ford Coppola's last big budget movie.
