Alpha vs Welcome to the Jungle box office clash

With Alpha and Welcome to the Jungle set to lock horns at the box office, YRF has requested exhibitors to implement a special show-sharing arrangement so that both movies can perform well together.

While the production giant has sought a minimum of four shows in two-screen theatres, it has requested six shows for Alpha in three-screen cinema halls, a minimum of eight shows in four-screen multiplexes, and at least 10 shows in venues with more than 10 screens. For single-screen cinemas, the YRF distribution office will reportedly make decisions on a case-by-case basis.

Alpha has received a UA 16+ certificate and has a runtime of 140.48 minutes.
