snow bLACK manages $16 million, long way to go to make a profit; de Niro's and Barry Levinson's the alto knights attracts no one
“(variety) Disney‘s snow white is the fairest of them all on box office charts. the musical earned $16 million across friday and preview screenings from 4,200 venues. it’s enough of a start to put snow white, which stars Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot, on track to land within projections for an opening weekend north of $45 million.
“that would mark the second-biggest debut of the year behind fellow Disney release captain america: brave new world. but like that marvel cinematic universe entry, snow white is budgeted like a four-quadrant tentpole and needs to play like one. the Marc Webb-directed fairy tale carries a massive production cost north of $250 million, meaning it faces a steep climb to profitability.
“meanwhile, Warner bros. will hope to forget about it after opening the mafia drama the alto knights, a crime period piece that sees Robert De Niro playing two identical (yet biologically unrelated) gang leaders in new york. the film got whacked with a meagre $1.17 million across friday and previews, playing in 2,651 theaters.
“like fellow Warner release Mickey 17, which misfired in its opening just two weeks ago, the alto knights is a star-driven, original r-rated drama from a filmmaker with awards history (here, in director Barry Levinson). unlike Mickey 17, which can’t draw a big enough audience to justify its nine-digit budget, the alto knights is a more measured affair, with a $45 million production cost. but also unlike Mickey 17, alto knights simply isn’t drawing much of anyone at all.”
GRA: Years ago,I'd give the De Niro flick a go at the movie theater,based on the mafia theme,Levinson and De Niro. Maybe if it sticks around a few days(not sure if it's in Grand Rapids yet),I'll try it out.
