The Megalopolis flop and Hollywoods reluctance to take risks
Legendary filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola\u2019s latest work flopped at the box office over the weekend. Coppola self-funded the film, \u201cMegalopolis,\u201d to the tune of $120 million. Yet it made just $4 million in its opening weekend. It\u2019s the latest original film \u2014 one that\u2019s not a sequel or remake \u2014 to struggle to attract audiences to the theater. Then, remittances to India top $100 billion a year.
