Francis Ford Coppola’s ‘Megalopolis’ Nears French Distribution Deal With Indie Banner Le Pacte


Francis Ford Coppola's 'Megalopolis' is on track to sell to French distributor Le Pacte ahead of its Cannes premiere.

In the run-up to its world premiere in competition at the Cannes Film Festival, Francis Ford Coppola ‘s 135-minute epic “ Megalopolis ” is on track to sell to a French distributor, Le Pacte. Coppola’s lawyer Barry Hirsch, who also served as a producer, has been courting studios and streamers to secure a splashy deal with a P&A commitment amounting to more than half of the film’s $120 budget, according to industry insiders. The streamer never releases its movies in French theaters due to the local windowing rules that require the service to wait 15 months after a theatrical rollout to make a film available to its subscribers.
