Uncharted Movie Wins Second Weekend at the Box Office

18.02.2022

Tom Holland will remain in the top spot at the box office, with Uncharted winning its second weekend. Following the record-breaking records in Spider-Man: No Way Home, Holland’s video game adaptation won its holiday-weekend box office in its debut and remains in the top spot this weekend. The movie overperformed during the President’s Day weekend and Uncharted remains strong in week two, with an $23.2 million weekend haul. The film’s total will grow to an estimated $83.3 million by Monday. Critics don’t love Uncharted, but that doesn’t seem to have slowed it down. ComicBook.com’s Tanner Dedmon thought the film was a formulaic but fun PG-13 adventure.

“That’s probably who’ll enjoy this film the most; those who played one or two games in the series and could pick Nathan out of a lineup of protagonists but aren’t invested enough to get hung up on inconsistencies,” he writes in his 3.5-out-of-5 review of the movie. “For those uninitiated to Uncharted, let Holland be your Nate and shelve this movie next to your Pirates of the Caribbean and Indiana Jones collections. The more fervent fans may never see their favorite characters translated as well as they’d like, but we’ll almost certainly be getting more movies after this one, so it’s best to look at Uncharted the same way it views itself – not too seriously.”

Channing Tatum’s Dog also showed staying power, expecting to earn another $10 million in its second weekend. Joe Wright’s Cyrano, starring Peter Dinklage, will open with $1.4 million, behind the Foo Fighter’s horror flick Studio 666 with $1.58 million.
