Francis Ford Coppola's 'Megalopolis' Nears Distribution Deal in France, Still Seeks U.S. Distributor

As 'Megalopolis' prepares for its Cannes debut, negotiations with French distributor Le Pacte are underway, but U.S. distribution remains uncertain.

Le Pacte is in talks to handle the French distribution of 'Megalopolis,' a requirement for competing at the Cannes Film Festival.
The film, self-financed by Coppola with a $120 million budget, has yet to secure a distributor in the United States.
Netflix is ruled out for French distribution due to local windowing rules requiring a 15-month delay post-theatrical release.
Amazon and Apple are potential candidates for U.S. distribution, reflecting ongoing negotiations and interest.
The film's plot, casting, and thematic ambitions have generated significant interest ahead of its premiere.
