Critically Sidelined Tom Holland's 'Uncharted' Tops Domestic Box Office

Los Angeles, February 21 - Tom Holland's "Uncharted", also starring Mark Wahlberg, is having a dream run at the box office, both internationally and domestically. The Sony Picture's video game adaptation, based on the popular PlayStation game series from publisher Naughty Dog, "Uncharted" topped the 3-day domestic weekend with $44.2 million.

Tom Holland has proved his star power and also answered many questions that he can also deliver at the box office outside "Spider-Man" movies. The 4-day President Weekend for "Uncharted" is projected to reach $51 million domestically (North America), which are significant box office numbers, considering the fact that the movie has been sidelined by critics with just a 39% score on Rotten Tomatoes.



Internationally, the Ruben Fleischer-directed film is even more strong after debuting in the 47 new markets with $55.4 million. Earlier, the movie opened in the 15 international markets and had grossed $22.6 million, pushing its overseas haul to $88 million. The global total for "Uncharted" currently stands at $132.2 million through Sunday.

Among the new international markets, France led all launches for Uncharted with $6.3 million followed by Australia with $4 million. Germany lands at number 3 with $3.4 million, followed by Italy with $3.1 million and Korea at $3 million. In India, "Uncharted" has grossed approx. 880K in the first 3-days at the box office.

The United Kingdom is leading the overseas chart with $16.4 million. In more happy news for Sony Pictures, "Uncharted" dated March 14 in China, which is the biggest movie market in the world.

Meanwhile, Tom Holland's "Spider-Man: No Way Home" is showing no sign of slowing down as it grossed $7.2 million in its 10th domestic weekend, landing at number 3 this weekend, pushing total domestic cume at $770 million. Internationally, Marvel/Sony's superhero flick has reached $1.06 billion, for global cume to $1.83 billion, that too without China. It is currently the 6th biggest film of all time at the worldwide box office.
