Our Favourite Trivia:
On a budget of only $25 million, Asteroid City grossed $28.2 million in the United States and Canada, and $25.8 million in other territories, for a worldwide gross of $54 million.
Wes Anderson talked about how the COVID-19 pandemic inspired the film and its story, saying: "I don't think there would be a quarantine in the story if we weren't experiencing it. It wasn't deliberate...Writing is the most improvisational part of the whole process. It relies on having nothing."
Principal photography took place in Spain between August and October 2021, with COVID-19 safety precautions in place. Several sets were built in Chinchón, including a vast diorama resembling a desert landscape with the eponymous town of Asteroid City, including its train station, a diner, a garage and an observatory.
This is Wes Anderson's first film to not feature Bill Murray since Bottle Rocket (1996). He was originally cast in Steve Carell's role, but contracted COVID-19 shortly before filming and had to withdraw from the production. Once he recovered, he visited the set and filmed a retro promotional trailer with director Anderson, in which he appears as a director or studio exec, along with Jason Schwartzman, who was in his character from the film.
