None of the otherFrancis Ford Coppola moviesmade over $100 million (viaThe Numbers).
However,Tucker: The Man and His Dreamsonly made $19.6 million during its theatrical run.
This was after making only $3.7 million in its opening weekend across 720 theaters.
The final box office total forFinian’s Rainbowis only $11.6 million.
This total came entirely from the film’s domestic release.
That possibility, however unlikely, became even more difficult once reviews dropped.
Not even the polarizing nature of its 46% score on Rotten Tomatoes could drive enough interest.
This total is despite it being Coppola’s widest release in decades.
With showtimes slowing down and bigger new releases coming,Megalopolis' total could still climb higher.
5Tetro
$2.9 Million
Tetrois among the lowest-grossing movies Francis Ford Coppola has ever directed.
Its standing in this list is only improved thanks to the $2.3 million it made internationally.
That helps it climb up to a box office total of nearly $2.9 million.

However,Tetrois still a financial disappointment for Coppola.
Production took place almost entirely in Argentina and reportedly cost $5 million to make.
The film’s box office is barely more than half of the reported budget then.
Miraculously,Youth Without Youthmanaged to make more at the box office than it cost Coppola to make it.
He toldRolling Stonein 2024 that he made the movie for less than $1 million.
His second movie of 1983 came out months afterThe Outsidersand retained stars like Matt Dillon and Diane Lane.
The reality is thatRumble Fishonly made $2.5 million at the box office during its run.
Still,Twixtis only reported to have made around $1.3 million during its limited release.
That is well below the film’s reported budget of $7 million.
This is becauseOne From The Heartreportedly cost between $23 million and $26 million to make.
Bad test screenings and some defiant moves byFrancis Ford Coppolacaused Paramount to back out of distributing the film domestically.
His bet onOne From The Heartcaused massive financial problems for him going forward.
