Francis Ford Coppola Megalopolis distribution and projects

Overview

Francis Ford Coppola has initiated a limited, interactive theatrical re-release of his self-financed science fiction film, Megalopolis. Starting October 24, 2026, the screenings will occur at Reading International locations across the United States. These events are designed as collective experiences featuring a live-streamed Q&A session moderated by Roman Coppola, where audience members can text questions to the director.

Following the film’s initial release, which saw polarized reviews and disappointing box office results, Coppola has maintained control over distribution by keeping the film off domestic streaming services and U.S. DVDs.

In recent discussions at the World Business Forum in Bogotá, Coppola addressed his future plans, expressing a desire to shoot “one more film.” This comes after significant delays and financing challenges for a planned musical adaptation of Edith Wharton’s “The Glimpses of the Moon,” stemming from his substantial investment in Megalopolis.
