Tom Holland's 'Uncharted' Opens Solid At The International Box Office

Mumbai, February 14 - With "Spider-Man: No Way Home" still putting strong numbers at the box office, Tom Holland's next film "Uncharted" has kicked off the international box office on a strong note.

Ahead of its domestic (North America) debut on February 18, Sony's big-screen adaptation of its popular video game series opened in 15 international markets and grossed a solid $21.5 million over Valentine's Day weekend. There were questions about whether Tom Holland could bring audiences to theaters outside his "Spider-Man" movies, and "Uncharted" might have answered all those questions.



Directed by Ruben Fleischer, the action-adventure film had the biggest start in the United Kingdom, swinging to $6.4 million, followed by Russia with $4.5 million, Spain with $3.5 million, and Ukraine with $1.3 million.

Compared to pandemic-era blockbusters, "Uncharted" movie is tracking 12% above "Eternals", 18% above "Black Widow" and 21% higher than "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings" at similar points in their theatrical rollouts, according to Variety.

The $120 million budgeted movie, will debut in the U.S. and Canada in the coming weekend along with India, Australia, Brazil, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Mexico, and South Korea. Apart from Holland who plays Nathan Drake, "Uncharted" also stars Mark Wahlberg as his mentor Victor Sullivan, with Sophia Ali, Tati Gabrielle, and Antonio Banderas in supporting roles.

In the film, Drake is recruited by Sullivan in a race against Santiago Moncada (Banderas) and Jo Braddock (Gabrielle) to locate the fabled treasure of the Magellan expedition.
