The Alto Knights North America Box Office: Robert De Niro’s Film Falls Flat On Release Day, Debuts At #3 In The Domestic Chart

Robert De Niro’s starrer biographical crime drama film, The Alto Knights, is headed for a disappointing affair at the box office on its release day. The movie has collected even less than the second Friday collection of Cate Blanchett’s Black Bag. Keep scrolling for the deets.

It was directed by Barry Levinson and distributed by Warner Bros Pictures. It has opened to mixed reviews from the critics. De Niro appears in a dual role as the 1950s mob bosses Vito Genovese and Frank Costello. It also features Debra Messing, Cosmo Jarvis, Kathrine Narducci, and Michael Rispoli in supporting roles. It has received poor ratings from the critics on Rotten Tomatoes; they gave it 38%, and their collective consensus states, “A competent but tired retread of mob movie tropes, it pits De Niro vs. De Niro with no real victor emerging.”

The audience rating is more hopeful, as they gave it 68% on the RT platform. The Alto Knights is suffering due to the mixed reviews. Trade analyst Luiz Fernando shared a detailed report of the film’s release day number. Based on the report, Robert De Niro’s film collected $1.2 million only on Friday when it opened in the theatres across 2,651 theatres. It debuted at #3 in the domestic box office chart below Black Bag’s second Friday.
