Coppola self-funded Megalopolis to the tune of $120M. It has a 4.7 on IMDB. It earned about 10% of its total budget.
Every creative swing doesn’t need to be successful, but you probably want to tighten up the script you’ve been working on for literally 40 years if you’re going to invest that kind of money.
Maybe Coppola could have also invested some of that money toward honest people to tell him the truth about how fucking hokey and laughable what he was doing would OBJECTIVELY be seen as.
