‘Uncharted’ Rakes in Millions at the Box Office

Renowned for his stellar performance in Spider-Man: No Way Home, Tom Holland is presently one of the most lucrative actors in Hollywood. It appears that any film project he undertakes turns out to be a major hit, just like his newest venture, Uncharted. This recently released film, based on the iconic video game series, saw Holland step into the shoes of the daring protagonist Nathan Drake.

Notably, Uncharted has proven to be a resounding success at the box office, attributed in part to Holland’s star power. In its debut weekend, the movie amassed a domestic revenue of around $44.1 million, surpassing Sony’s initial forecasts by $14 million. With the extended President’s Day weekend, the film might even see an extra $6 million in earnings.

Interestingly, while Uncharted has garnered favor with moviegoers, critical reception has predominantly been negative. As of the latest update, the film holds a critical rating of 39% on Rotten Tomatoes, in stark contrast to the 90% audience score. Critics characterize Uncharted as a formulaic action-adventure film that borrows heavily from other movie tropes. However, the buzz on social media, whether from fans of the game series or newcomers, remains largely undeterred.

Regardless of the critical opinions, Uncharted appears poised to be another smash hit for Sony, further solidifying Holland’s track record for delivering profitable performances.
