After decades of talk, Francis Ford Coppola's forever-gestating dream project Megalopolis debuted in movie theaters in fall 2024, and promptly flopped at the box office, grossing a paltry $14m worldwide against a budget around $120m, much of which was put up by Coppola himself. Not even a series of splashy Imax presentations, including some with a live-actor element, could entice more than a relative handful of curious cinephiles out of the house.

Elio is remembered as one of the big box office flops of 2025 despite being beloved by viewers and visually beautiful, resulting in the worst performance in Pixar's history.
