These were another gloomy weekend at the box office, and even a few cinematic legends could not help raise the tide. Robert de Niro can become one of the greatest actors if –NoBut it is no longer an automatic star of the movie « Batta in the Seats ». The turnout of the audience is very dependent on the movie in which it is. Thus, although he plays double roles in the « Alta Rites » directed by Bari Levinson, the drama of the mafia, which unfolded on the screen, was not interesting enough for this de Niro against De Niro Hook to have a value.
Over the weekend, Alta -Criters opened up to $ 3.1 million on the inside, landing at number six on the hit -parades and creating a catastrophic start. The film reportedly has a $ 50 million production budget before marketing costs, and mafia movies tend to have a limited attractiveness abroad, so everything does not look good regarding long -term prospects. It may not even be completely blamed for the competition « Snow White » Disney Snow White is mostly disappointed with $ 43 million debut.
The last centers of Levinson on the two most famous organized criminal chiefs in New York, Frank Castella (de Niro) and Vita Genovez (de Niro), which both fight for control over urban streets. Although once they were the best friends, jealousy and betrayal create them for a course of collision, which will eventually redo the American mafia.
What went wrong with Alto knights?
So, what went wrong here? Well, to begin with, in today’s climate, it is difficult to get an audience for a film that deals with a franchise, no matter what the matter. But films that tend to break through and make a significant business, or a) made for such a low budget that the bar for success is significantly reduced, or b) become such a critical and favorite audience that the word from the lips carries. None of these things happened here.
The company de Niro and Levinson were largely a sullen criticism, and the audience is mostly squeezing their shoulders. /Chris evangelist from the movie gave « Alto -Rites » 5 out of 10 reviewcalling it « a movie about a mafia that makes the life of a mafia look absolutely sad. » Such reviews will not quite help to deprive potential buyers of tickets from the sofa. This, at best, will be the movie « Wait and Stream » for the vast majority.
This non -impressive opening adds to what is composed as a rough year for Warner Bros. At the box office in 2025. Studio already took over Frustrated « Mickey 17 », which is expected to lose as much as $ 80 million. This film had $ 118 million and still received only $ 100 million worldwide after three weekends. And overall, this year’s ticket sales decreases compared to the very moment in 2024, and the results lagging behind in 2023. Currently, everything goes in the wrong direction, and such fires do not help. Here I hope for a very reliable summer.
