Watch the Trailer for ‘The Alto Knights’

Released on January 14, 2025, the official trailer for The Alto Knights is available to watch above. More than all else, the above trailer is most enticing for giving audiences their first glimpse at De Niro as both of his characters — mob bosses Frank Costello and Vito Genovese —with the veteran Hollywood mainstay proving he still has new tricks to try. Showcasing both De Niros coming against each other on screen for the first time, the trailer gives a wonderful look at this brand-new mafia story and the gripping criminal world it is set in. A synopsis via the official movie’s website reads:

“The film follows two of New York’s most notorious organized crime bosses, Frank Costello (De Niro) and Vito Genovese (De Niro), as they vie for control of the city’s streets. Once the best of friends, petty jealousies and a series of betrayals place them on a deadly collision course that will reshape the Mafia (and America) forever.”

What Are the Box Office Projections for ‘The Alto Knights’?

The worldwide box office predictions for The Alto Knights‘ opening weekend range between $5 million and $10 million, with the reality likely leaning toward the former due to stiff competition from the new Snow White movie. The film’s reported budget is around $45 million, with The Alto Knights unlikely to hit the all-important mark of $90 million where investment is doubled.

Three Robert De Niro Projects to Stream Before You See ‘The Alto Knights’

‘Zero Day’ (2025)

The latest De Niro project has received strong viewership numbers, with the veteran taking on the role of George Mullen, a former President charged with heading up the Zero Day Commission. After an unprecedented cyberattack leaves many in catastrophic trouble with some even losing their life, it is up to the popular Mullen to search for truth amidst a society ripped apart by the lack thereof. A series that feels painfully prescient, Zero Day is a gripping conspiracy thriller that benefits from a star-studded supporting cast, with De Niro joined on screen by the likes of Jesse Plemons, Lizzy Caplan, Angela Bassett, and others.

‘The Irishman’ (2019)

There is possibly no better duo in Hollywood history than De Niro and director Martin Scorsese. With the pair bringing to life some of the best crime and gangster dramas for several decades, the end of the 2010s brought another crime epic to audiences with the three-and-a-half-hour The Irishman. Based on the book I Heard You Paint Houses by Charles Brandt, The Irishman ebbs and flows through the life of Frank Sheeran (De Niro), following his rise through the ranks of the mob and his alleged assassination of life-long friend, Jimmy Hoffa (Al Pacino). Perhaps the last of its kind, with De Niro and Scorsese joined by the likes of Pacino and Joe Pesci, The Irishman is a reminder of the classic gangster flicks of old with a sprinkling of the new via some de-aging technology that might not work for everyone.

‘Taxi Driver’ (1976)

It would be impossible to recommend De Niro projects and not recommend the movie that put him on the map: Taxi Driver. In another movie under the watchful direction of Scorsese, De Niro stars as Travis Bickle, a Vietnam War veteran whose insomnia keeps him driving the streets of New York City at night in his taxi. However, through his nightly travels, Bickle sees the very worst of his city, slowly driving him to a violent urge for revenge. One of the greatest leading performances of all time, De Niro’s genius shines no brighter than in Taxi Driver, with this a movie everyone should watch at least once.
