Alpha Day 1 Box Office Collection: How Much Did Alia Bhatt’s Film Earn on Opening Day?

Alpha Day 1 Box Office Collection: The much-awaited action thriller Alpha, starring Alia Bhatt, Sharvari, Bobby Deol and Anil Kapoor, has finally hit theatres. Produced by Yash Raj Films and directed by Shiv Rawail, the film marks the first female-led entry in the YRF Spy Universe.

Moviegoers and trade folks are keeping a close eye on Alpha’s day wise box office numbers as the film rolls out for its theatrical run across India and also overseas.

Based on advance booking information, Alpha put up a solid pre release showing with roughly 89,000 plus tickets snapped up across more than 8,000 shows in total. The movie is said to have earned about ₹3 crore gross from advance tickets and when you add blocked seats too, the figure was estimated to be over ₹5 crore gross.

According to the trade website Sacnilk, Alpha has earned ₹7.45 crore in net at the Indian box office as of 8 PM on its opening day. Since these are live figures, the numbers should rise a bit as more shows wrap up and the final Day 1 haul lands in. It’s rolled out over 6,490 showings across the nation and Alpha has this big cinematic outing too, so it gets a solid foothold in theaters around the country.

One of the biggest positives for Alpha is that it has already outperformed the opening-day collection of Jigra, making it a better theatrical start for Alia Bhatt. Jigra had collected ₹4.55 crore net while playing across 5,779 shows. The YRF spy film has surpassed Jigra’s day 1 numbers.

During morning shows, the overall trend looked a bit uneven, but most expect the occupancy to improve, especially in metro cities for evening and night screenings. Major centres such as Mumbai, NCR, Bengaluru and Hyderabad contributed the highest advance bookings ahead of release.

Can Alpha Become a Box Office Success?

With a reported big-budget production and the backing of the successful YRF Spy Universe, Alpha will rely heavily on positive audience word of mouth over its opening weekend. Strong reviews and weekend growth could significantly improve its lifetime collections.
