Francis Ford Coppola's 'Megalopolis' Debuts with Groundbreaking Live Cinema Experience

The $120 million self-funded sci-fi epic features a unique interactive scene and is set for a modest box office opening.

Coppola's 'Megalopolis,' starring Adam Driver, opens in theaters nationwide, featuring a live interactive scene during select screenings.
The film, set in a futuristic New Rome, explores utopian ideals clashing with regressive politics, with a star-studded cast including Giancarlo Esposito and Nathalie Emmanuel.
Lionsgate has labeled special screenings as 'The Ultimate Experience,' where a live participant interacts with Driver's character in a fourth-wall-breaking moment.
Despite its $120 million budget, the film is projected to have a modest opening, estimated between $5 million and $7 million.
After its theatrical run, 'Megalopolis' is expected to debut on premium video on demand as early as October 18, with a later release on STARZ.
