The new crime movie for Robert De Niro at the box office

It was another dark weekend at the box office, not even a few cinematic myths that could help raise the tide. Robert De Niro may be one of the greatest actors everBut he is no longer the star of the movie “A Wake in the Seats”. The audience’s demand is largely dependent on the movie in which it is. Therefore, although he plays dual roles in “The Alto Knights” by Barry Levinson, the mob drama that was described on the screen was not interesting enough to those that concern this a lot.

The “The Alto Knights” from Warner Bros was completed to $ 3.1 million locally at the end of last week, as it fell sixth on the charts and made a catastrophic start. According to what was reported, the film holds a $ 50 million production budget before marketing costs and mob movies tended to limited attractiveness abroad, so things do not seem good regarding the possibilities of this long -term. It cannot be fully blamed for this competition, as With disappointment, “Snow White”, with great disappointment, with the emergence of $ 43 million.

Livinson’s last centers on two of the most organized crime heads in New York, Frank Costilo (De Niro) and Vito Ginoviz (De Niro), both of whom compete to control the city streets. Although they were the best friends one day, jealousy and betrayal put them in a collision course that would reshape the American mafia.

So, what is the mistake that happened here? Well, for beginners, in the current climate, it is difficult to bring the fans to remove an unintended movie regardless of the situation. But films that tend to penetrate and do meaningful works either a) is made for a low budget, so that the success bar is reduced significantly, or b) such an oral word that carries the oral word becomes. None of these things happened here.

De Niro and Levinson team were largely subjected to critics, as the audience mostly ignored it. /Chris Evanjelista gave the movie “The Alto Knights” 5 out of 10 reviewsHe described him as “Mob movie that makes Mob’s life look completely boring.” Such reviews will not help exactly get potential ticket buyers from the sofa. This, at best, will be the movie “Waiting and Broadcast” for the vast majority of people.

This unnecessary opening adds to what is formed to be a difficult year for Warner Bros. At the box office in 2025. The studio has already borne The disappointment of “Micky 17”, which is expected to lose up to 80 million dollars. This film got a budget of $ 118 million and has only made $ 100 million worldwide so far after three weekends of the release. In general, ticket sales declined this year compared to this same point in 2024, when groups are well lagging behind behind 2023. Things are currently heading in the wrong direction, and do not help such. Here he hopes for a very strong summer.
