It was a mega blunder. 

The trailer for the latest Francis Ford Coppola movie, “Megalopolis,” premiered on Wednesday. 

Soon after, Lionsgate studio recalled the trailer. 

“Lionsgate is immediately recalling our trailer for Megalopolis. We offer our sincere apologies to the critics involved and to Francis Ford Coppola and American Zoetrope for this inexcusable error in our vetting process,” a Lionsgate spokesperson told The Post. 

“We screwed up. We are sorry.”





In the trailer, the on-screen narration said, “True genius is often misunderstood. One filmmaker has always been ahead of his time.”

Hours after it was released, Lionsgate pulled a trailer for Megalopolis that was clearly “gunning for the haters” with a selection of negative quotes about director Francis Ford Coppola’s previous works.

For most viewers these days, a good Rotten Tomatoes score is the first thing they look for when trying to find something new to watch. The score, which is calculated based on the number of positive reviews a movie or show has received from recognized critics, has faced its share of criticisms, but it is still a widely used tool that’s usually quite reliable. A 100% Rotten Tomatoes score is, therefore, a mark of honor equivalent to any major award. The streaming service Max is home to some of the best films made around the world, and, appropriately, they have a sizable collection of movies with that coveted 100% fresh rating. These movies range from epic cinematic masterpieces to cutting-edge documentaries to beautiful works of animation and everything in between. Read on to discover our list of the best movies with a 100% Rotten Tomatoes score that you can stream now on Max.
