CTV
Tom Holland might be without his Spider-Man suit in 'Uncharted,' but his latest action-adventure is still doing good business at the North American box office.
The video game adaptation starring Holland and Mark Wahlberg is on its way to earning US$51 million over the long Presidents Day weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday. Sony Pictures estimated its Friday through Sunday grosses will be $44.2 million, putting it at No. 1.
Though not a superhero payday, it's enough for the industry to breathe a sigh of relief as it's the biggest opening weekend since "Spider-Man: No Way Home." The weekend's other new opener, "Dog" found a modest audience too and landed in second place.
The unpredictability of pandemic-era audiences made "Uncharted" a bit of a wild card, and the poor reviews from critics had some going into the weekend with cautious optimism. The Ruben Fleischer-directed pic, based on a PlayStation game, opened on 4,275 screens.
"This result is yet another extraordinary testament to the appetite for the theatrical experience that Sony Pictures bet on," said Josh Greenstein, the president of Sony Pictures Motion Picture Group, in a statement.
