While the Uncharted movie will not premiere in North America until February 18, it is off to a strong start at the international box office with $21.5 million in ticket sales.
As reported by Variety, the Tom Holland-led video game adaptation opened in 15 overseas markets this past weekend and had the biggest debut in the United Kingdom with $6.4 million in ticket sales. When compared to other pandemic-era films, Uncharted 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."
Next week, Uncharted will open in not only the U.S. and Canada, but also Australia, Brazil, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Mexico, and South America. With $21.5 million already under its belt, it is well on its way to recoup its $120 production budget.
Death on the Nile, which secured the #1 spot at the domestic weekend box office, earned $20.7 million internationally and beat out Jackass Forever, Marry Me, Spider-Man: No Way Home, and Blacklight.
After a long and bumpy road, the Uncharted movie has finally arrived (or almost arrived) and looks to tell a prequel story of sorts for the franchise that began on PlayStation. Joining Holland will be Mark Wahlberg as Victor "Sully" Sullivan, Sophia Ali as Chloe Frazer, Tati Gabrielle as Braddock, and Antonio Banderas as Moncado. The film is being directed by Venom's Ruben Fleischer.
