Uncharted over performing19 Feb 2022 16:33
SATURDAY AM: Refresh for more analysis and weekend chart See, streamers, people do like to go to the movies: Sony’s Uncharted is overperforming past its mid $30M projections over 4-days with a $45M take. Even though the movie stars Spider-Man: No Way Home‘s Tom Holland, this videogame adaptation was never expected to be a Marvel movie. Rather, what Sony has here is a nice franchise started and buddy movie. Some rivals are even seeing a $50M 4-day for Uncharted.
The PG-13 movie is coming in ahead of previous Presidents Day action film, Kingsman: The Secret Service, which even though it was R, did $41.7M over the four day holiday in 2015. On a 3-day basis, at $40M, it’s under 2001 videogame feature adaptation, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider ($47.7M), an IP that Paramount was able to squeeze another sequel out of with Angelina Jolie.
