X marks the spot.

Sony has already described Uncharted as a “new hit movie franchise”, but there was still scepticism among some of our readers over whether Tom Holland’s take on Nathan Drake had been truly successful. As of last week, the movie had made back its production budget, but many wondered whether it could continue to pull in audiences.

Well, the film grossed a further $35 million worldwide this weekend, taking its global total up to $226.4 million overall. This, ultimately, has been a terrific cinematic run for the film, and makes it one of the top grossing video game movie adaptations of all-time. It’s unlikely it will dethrone the likes of Warcraft and Detective Pikachu, but it won’t be far off when all’s said and done.

I thought about playing the Uncharted video games before seeing the movie but decided against it. After all, this isn’t a franchise with some heavy lore akin to Warcraft or Resident Evil.

North American launch could pull up to $45 million this weekend.

Uncharted got off to a strong start in Europe last week, and it’s looking like its opening weekend in the United States and Canada will be similarly robust. Deadline reports that its opening is exceeding expectations, and is potentially trending towards $45 million through Monday, which includes President’s Day. In fact, optimistic analysts believe that number could yet cross $50 million, making it comfortably the biggest film of the long weekend.

It’s worth noting that the movie cost $120 million to produce, and therefore needs to be a hit in order to make back its investment. But the early indications are positive, and there may yet be hope for the sequel teased in the film’s post credits scene. It’s a particularly positive result for Tom Holland, whose Spider-Man: No Way Home recently unseated Avatar as the third highest-grossing domestic release in history.

"That car chase is unparalleled".

The jury’s still out on whether the Uncharted Movie will get a sequel, although the early Box Office indications are positive, and Sony is promoting the film hard. Nevertheless, as part of a roundtable with Naughty Dog’s Neil Druckmann – his hat says The Last of Us: Part II, by the way – film director Ruben Fleischer has revealed that he’d like to adapt Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End’s car chase should he get another shot at the series.

“If we’re lucky enough to make another one of these, I want to recreate the car chase,” he told Druckmann. “I think the greatest car chase ever in anything is the one in . I’ve done plenty of car chases in my career, but that car chase is unparalleled.”

Charted territory.

Watching the credits roll on Uncharted feels like closure in a lot of ways. We’ve been writing about this movie since the site’s inception in 2009, which ironically is roughly the same year a pre-pubescent Tom Holland was photographed prancing around in a Spider-Man costume, praying that he’d one day get the opportunity to portray Peter Parker on the big screen. Having set the Box Office ablaze late last year with Spider-Man: No Way Home, Sony Pictures’ go-to guy has been roped back in for PlayStation Productions’ debut project. But while this glossy green screen spectacle packs plenty of action into its sub-two hour running time, we’re not entirely sure who it’s for.

With its 2007 PlayStation 3 exclusive Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, and subsequent successors, developer Naughty Dog’s primary ambition was to create a summer blockbuster you could control. But by taking the DualShock away, this globe-trotting origin story treads a very familiar path to the likes of Indiana Jones and National Treasure. It all ends up feeling a little too familiar, and while Holland strikes a fine balance as the film’s protagonist – the narcissistic-heart-of-gold-petty-thief named Nathan Drake – the rest of the cast fail to fill their roles with anywhere near as much conviction.
