Robert De Niro's 'The Alto Knights' Declared a Box Office Flop

The mob drama grossed just $5.1 million globally in its opening weekend, underscoring challenges for Warner Bros. and the waning appeal of the genre.

'The Alto Knights' opened to dismal box office results, earning $3.2 million domestically and $1.8 million internationally, against a $50 million production budget.
Critics and audiences gave the film poor reviews, with a 37-38% Rotten Tomatoes score and a 'B' CinemaScore, citing its lackluster storytelling and De Niro's dual roles as a distracting gimmick.
The film suffered from minimal marketing efforts, leaving it largely invisible to potential audiences ahead of its release.
The mobster genre's declining popularity and competition from Disney's 'Snow White' further hampered the film's performance.
This marks another financial misstep for Warner Bros., following the underperformance of 'Mickey 17,' highlighting the studio's ongoing struggles in the theatrical market.
