Overview
- Trade tracker Sacnilk reports Alpha earned about Rs 9.25 crore on Day 1, Rs 11.50 crore on Day 2 and Rs 13.25 crore on Day 3, taking the three‑day India net to roughly Rs 34 crore and worldwide gross to an estimated Rs 58.8 crore.
- Sunday delivered the highest single‑day intake with steep intra‑day occupancy gains—morning 12.92%, afternoon 38.46%, evening 49.38% and night 31.62%—and cities such as Chennai, Lucknow and Jaipur recorded the strongest shows.
- Critics and social media reaction has been mixed to negative, prompting public defence from industry figures including Karan Johar, even as weekend footfalls improved.
- Reports place Alpha’s production cost around Rs 100–130 crore and say the film has recovered a meaningful portion of that sum in the opening weekend, but sustained weekday performance and overseas receipts are needed to reach breakeven.
- Early Monday box‑office indicators show a slowdown with about Rs 0.75 crore collected by 11 AM and roughly 6% morning occupancy, making Monday’s hold the immediate test of the film’s longer‑term commercial run.
