Francis Ford Coppola's long-awaited passion project, "Megalopolis," has finally secured a U.S. distribution deal with Lionsgate, set to hit theaters this Fall. The film faced challenges finding a studio willing to take on the high costs of a wide theatrical release after its Cannes premiere. Lionsgate may have taken on the project due to the lack of financial burden, with Coppola expected to cover marketing expenses totaling up to $20 million. Despite mixed reviews at Cannes, the film attracted significant attention and will also be shown on IMAX screens as part of its promotional strategy. With a theatrical release scheduled for September 27th, "Megalopolis" is set to make its mark on the U.S. box office after years of anticipation.
