Uncharted (which you can read much more about over at GameFragger.com) opened in a number of international locations this weekend, and debuted at #1 in all of them! The Tom Holland/Mark Wahlberg-led adaptation of the hit PlayStation franchise has so far earned $21.5 million - a solid, albeit pandemic-level, start.
However, Deadline is quick to point out that Uncharted is currently tracking 12% ahead of Eternals, 18% ahead of Black Widow, and 21% ahead of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.
This definitely bodes well, and while the vast majority of critics have yet to weigh in, it doesn't appear as if reviews from the UK - which are something of a mixed bag - have had too much of an impact. There, Uncharted debuted with a $6.4 million haul this weekend, and Holland's star power definitely appears to be a major draw for moviegoers after the success of Spider-Man: No Way Home.
Talking of that Sony Pictures/Marvel Studios blockbuster, it's now passed the $1.8 billion mark worldwide with a total of $1.804 billion. Spider-Man: No Way Home's international cume is now $1.045 billion, which is a spectacular achievement considering it hasn't been released in China (a situation which is unlikely to change moving forward). There's no word on what the plan is for Uncharted.
"The Uncharted games remain in a league of their own," we said in our Uncharted review, "but this movie captures their essence and delivers a rip-roaring, swashbuckling adventure with heaps of unexpected twists, full-throttle action, and another standout performance from Tom Holland."
