When Megalopolis was released in 2024, it’s fair to say its reception was divisive. Some loved it, most hated it, and the film fizzled at the box office, earning just $7 million (and several Razzie Awards). “It was [originally] more weird,” Coppola said while showing Megalopolis in New Jersey as part of a nationwide tour of the film, per World of Reel. That’s not the only way Coppola is keeping the dream of Megalopolis alive. Cesar may not have stopped time much, but Coppola is doing his darnedest to make sure Megalopolis isn’t lost to it.
