Sony Pictures Motion Picture Group is rather pleased with how Uncharted is doing at the box office, so much so that its chairman and CEO Tom Rothman has called it “a new hit movie franchise.”
Speaking in a company memo (thanks, Deadline), Rothman said the success “marks a great victory” for the company, as the film was the “first major production entirely shut down by the advent of Covid, yet we persevered to complete a picture the audience loves.”
According to Fandango’s Erik Davis, when it comes to video game adaptations, Uncharted had the fourth biggest opening weekend earning $44 million in the US behind Sonic the Hedgehog, Detective Pikachu, and 2001’s Tomb Raider, respectively.
