Megalopolis, Coppola's big-budget film, opened with a disappointing $4 million at the domestic box office, receiving poor reviews and audience reception.
In contrast, the animated film The Wild Robot, based on a popular children's book, opened at #1 with $35 million, benefiting from strong marketing and IMAX/PLF screenings.
