Sony Declares Uncharted A New Franchise After Box Office Success!
Well, Tom Holland has yet another box office hit with his new Uncharted movie and Sony is already seeing the film as a potential franchise for the studio…
CelebnMovies247.com reports that Sony is already calling 2022’s Uncharted movie a new franchise following the film’s overperformance at the box office.
After years of trying to get an adaptation of Naughty Dog’s acclaimed video game series to the big screen, audiences finally got a chance to see Nathan Drake in theaters. Uncharted stars Tom Holland as a younger version of the adventurer compared to what the games included. He’s paired up with Mark Wahlberg’s Sully and Chloe Frazer (Sophia Ali) for a globe-trotting adventure as they search for a lost treasure.
Despite COVID-19 further delaying Uncharted’s release, the movie is now out in theaters. Critical reviews for Holland’s video game movie have been quite divisive, as the film has a 39% rotten rating on Rotten Tomatoes. However, general audiences around the world are quite enjoying Uncharted and the original Nathan Drake adventure. Sony watched as the movie had a strong opening internationally prior to the domestic launch, which also exceeded expectations. Uncharted earned more than $50 million in its opening weekend domestically, surpassing projections of an opening in the $30M range.
Now that Uncharted’s opening weekend has concluded, Sony Pictures is already celebrating the success by calling it a new movie franchise. Not only is the theatrical business still recovering after COVID, but Holland is proving to be quite a box office draw.
