US EditionCoppola Brings 'Megalopolis' Live Tour to Denver
- Francis Ford Coppola is hosting a six-city summer tour starting July 20 at Count Basie Center in Red Bank, NJ, featuring screenings of his 2024 film Megalopolis followed by interactive discussions.
- Coppola self-financed the $120 million science fiction epic Megalopolis, which premiered last year at Cannes but earned only $14.3 million worldwide and faced harsh critical and box office failure.
- The tour, organized in partnership with Live Nation, will visit cities such as Port Chester, Red Bank, and several others, featuring Coppola leading interactive Q&A sessions titled 'How to Change Our Future' that delve into the themes of the film.
- Coppola insists Megalopolis should be seen in a large theater with a crowd and discussion, saying it 'was meant to be seen' this way, and compares its mixed reception to that of his 1979 film Apocalypse Now.
- The tour offers a rare chance to experience the film as intended since Megalopolis is unavailable on streaming platforms, suggesting Coppola expects the film to gain appreciation over time despite initial division.
