Megalopolis se estrenará en más de 1500 salas de cine de Estados Unidos, incluyendo salas IMAX.
Lionsgate no financiará el marketing del film y Coppola tendrá que aportar 20 millones más de su propio bolsillo destinados específicamente a tal efecto..
Por último, Lionsgate únicamente ha adquirido los derechos de distribución del film en Estados Unidos, pero el propietario del mismo a nivel legal seguirá siendo Coppola (igual que Apocalypse Now es suya).

"Personally, I think that as long as the artist can continue to have the enthusiasm to refine the work, they should do it. But I don't think that studios or other people should be allowed to go and tamper with something just because they want to put it on television, or they want to take it from black and white to color, or they want to have a more contemporary score on it."

Ponyo:
It’s part of some studios’ strategy to release their films slowly, building on word of mouth and, indeed, award nominations. Unlike a “wide release,” in which a new film opens in more than 1,500 theaters on the same weekend, a “platform release” of a film means it will typically open in fewer than 50 theaters to start.
A wide release is usually pursued when a distributor believes a movie will be an immediate hit, on the basis of its existing fandom or a major marketing campaign.
The platform release, on the other hand, can be used to gauge a film’s appeal. “A platform release takes a lot of planning. The strategy usually changes on the fly through the response of public and critics,” said Paul Dergarabedian, a senior media analyst with comScore.
Out of this year’s nine best-picture nominees, three followed a wide-release strategy, while the rest used a platform release.

Muchas gracias. Entiendo entonces que 1500 salas (más de 1500, pone), está más que bien, aunque eso es con Lionsgate en USA. Veremos aquí en cuantas salas se estrena Megalópolis.
¿Alguna idea de por qué no se han hecho eco los medios -prensa y demás- de la fecha de estreno en nuestro país?. Es que si no llego a entrar en la web de Tripictures para echar un ojo no me entero...

Se me ocurren dos motivos. Primero que TriPictures no haya emitido una nota de prensa al respecto (Y si no la ha emitido pues o entras en la web o no te enteras). Y el segundo motivo es que me parece que la fecha en la web de TriPictures es muy reciente. Yo he entrado hace poco (lo que no aseguro es si fue la semana pasada o hace 15 días) y en la ficha ponía "Próximamente".
Como dice el compañero tatoadsl, si Tripictures no lanza una nota de prensa, estos no la ponen. Y si lo saben, les sale mejor hacer un tweet o un post que una noticia completa. Yo me he enterado en Twitter gracias a Info Cine.
Aunque conociendo a Tripictures, no os esperéis una promoción de la leche.

Esto lo explica todo:
Lionsgate recently handled the re-releases of his films in theaters ("Dementia 13", "The Conversation", "Apocalypse Now", "One from the Heart", "The Cotton Club", "The Godfather Coda"), so it's fitting that they decided to partner up with Coppola once again, albeit on a bigger scale.

A borderline calamitous disaster (this is a good thing). So strange and uncompromising, genuinely kind of impossible to form an opinion on it. We will never see anything like this again, so it must be cherished for what it is: as pure an expression of a singular vision as we are ever likely to experience.
Unforgettable cinema experience...
¿Eh?.

It's not for everyone. It’s beyond avant-garde. It’s beyond ‘cinema’. It’s maximalist. It's experimental. It’s raw. And, it’s real. It’s uncompromising. It’s inspired. It’s everything pure cinema can be: anything it wants.
I laughed. I cried. I had my mind expanded. I spent most of it's runtime in awe, my eyes welling up from the very first shot. Time stopped. 'Francis Ford Coppola's MEGALOPOLIS' hit the screen, etched into stone like the title card from some bygone studio epic, and I was transported. It wasn't just a theatrical experience. This thing pierced my soul and it felt like I was in a cathedral for two hours.
In an age of soulless AI generated nightmare fuel and endless platitudes about metrics, algorithms, and 'content', just when I thought it was time to pack it in and give up... I witnessed, once more, a real piece of human artistic expression. A piece of art so handmade, you could almost see the artist's literal fingerprints across each frame.
More than any other piece of modern cinema, Francis Ford Coppola's Megalopolis made me believe again. And, sure. It may be "right time, right place, right state of mind". But it did. And at the end, as credits rolled, I looked at my two hands and committed myself to making more art in this work. Thank you, Francis.

En la web de Tripictures -haced scroll hasta abajo del todo- pone que Megalópolis se estrenará en nuestro país el 27 de Septiembre. Sin embargo, ningún medio se ha hecho eco todavía. Curioso.
