Description

Legendary filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola’s latest work flopped at the box office over the weekend. Coppola self-funded the film, “Megalopolis,” to the tune of $120 million. Yet it made just $4 million in its opening weekend. It’s the latest original film — one that’s not a sequel or remake — to struggle to attract audiences to the theater. Then, remittances to India top $100 billion a year.
