  "content": "Yash Raj Films' spy universe has delivered big hits like Pathaan and War 2 over the past few years, and the franchise's first female-led film, Alpha, has now arrived in theatres on June 3, 2026. Huma Qureshi's Baby Do Die Do also opened on the very same day, but its box office debut was far from impressive. Ever since Alpha was first announced back in 2024, fans had been buzzing with excitement over Alia Bhatt's action-thriller. However, once the film hit screens, it received mixed reviews from both critics and audiences, and that mixed reaction appears to have directly shaped its opening day numbers. Baby Do Die Do, on the other hand, earned even less than expected, a result that likely disappointed the film's team.\n\nAlpha's Opening Day Box Office Numbers\nAccording to early estimates from Sacnilk, Alpha earned around Rs 9 crore net in India on its first day. The film's gross collection in India stood at approximately Rs 10.80 crore, while overseas markets added close to another Rs 5 crore. That put Alpha's total worldwide gross for day one at roughly Rs 15.80 crore. The film released across a massive 7,534 shows nationwide, showing that its makers had gone all in on the rollout. Yet despite the huge screen count and the buzz generated ahead of release, Alpha's earnings did not fully live up to expectations. Going by day one numbers, this turned out to be the weakest opening for any film in the YRF Spy Universe so far, a setback for the franchise.\n\nHow Baby Do Die Do Fared\nBaby Do Die Do, meanwhile, released in 778 shows on day one and managed just Rs 0.40 crore in net collections. That left the film's total gross collection in India at Rs 0.48 crore and its net collection at Rs 0.40 crore. With such a limited show count and such modest earnings, it is clear the film struggled to pull audiences into cinemas right from the start.\n\nAlpha Wins the Head-to-Head Battle\nEven though Alpha's opening wasn't as strong as hoped, it still comfortably outperformed Baby Do Die Do at the box office on day one. The Huma Qureshi and Rachit Singh starrer crime thriller could not come anywhere close to matching the opening day numbers of Alia Bhatt and Sharvari's action film. The wide gap between the two films' earnings shows that a bigger star cast and a large-scale release still make a visible difference at the box office. Attention now turns to how both films perform in the coming days, particularly whether Baby Do Die Do can show any recovery over the weekend, or whether Alpha can pick up momentum despite its underwhelming start.\n\nWhat this means for you\n• For moviegoers: The mixed day one reviews have directly affected earnings, so checking reviews and word of mouth before booking weekend tickets could help.\n• For the film industry: A weak opening despite a massive nationwide release may push makers to rethink promotion and show allocation strategy going forward.\n\nQuestions & Answers\n\n1. How much did Alpha earn on day one?\nAccording to Sacnilk estimates, Alpha earned around Rs 9 crore net in India on day one and its worldwide gross stood at roughly Rs 15.80 crore.\n\n2.
