Future

In 2024, Coppola planned to film more sequences for Distant Vision, financed with the box office of Megalopolis (2024).^[7] The plans were put on hold when Megalopolis grossed a worldwide total of $14.3 million, losing $75.5 million, when factoring together all expenses and revenues.^[8][9]
