‘Uncharted’ tops the North American box office, breaking 97 million on its first day

Tom Holland has been a blockbuster recently. He starred in “Spider-Man: No Way Home”, which currently has a global box office of 1.811 billion US dollars. It is the strongest single-person superhero movie in the history of the world.

Aside from Avengers 3 and 4, the top superhero movie at the box office is “Spider-Man: No Way Home.”

It is a pity that the box office appeal of superhero actors has always been a mystery, and there are also many controversies.

Do superheroes make actors, or do actors endow superheroes with souls?

Especially in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, many second-tier actors have become big stars because of their superheroes.

But after leaving the Marvel Cinematic Universe, is their box office appeal still strong?

Uncertain!

Tom Holland made another ‘Uncharted’ film before ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ was released, but it didn’t fare as well as expected.

On Friday, February 18th, the North American film market welcomed two new films, “Uncharted” and “Dog”, both of which were star-studded and just occupied the first and second place at the North American Japanese box office.

However, “Dog” was a mediocre performance, grossing only $5.04 million on its first day.

“Dog” is directed and acted by Hollywood star Channing Tatum, which is also Channing Tatum’s first directorial work. It can be seen that Hollywood actors also like to engage in cross-border directing.

The film tells the story of a veteran and his dog who circle the Pacific coast to attend a funeral

Channing Tatum starred in “G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra” “21 Jump Street” series “Kingsman: The Golden Circle” and many other commercial films.

However, “Dog” is promoted as a comedy, but it has a strong literary and artistic nature, which is a bit boring for the audience.

And “Uncharted” is a pure commercial hit.

“Uncharted” has been in preparation for 10 years, and it took seven directors to complete the filming.

This year’s “Uncharted” is so soon to be released, it is obvious that it wants to take advantage of the popularity of “Spider-Man: No Way Home” to save a lot of effort in the announcement.

“Spider-Man: No Way Home” was a big hit, but “Uncharted” wasn’t

“Uncharted” did win the North American box office on its first day of release on February 18, but it grossed $15.4 million on its first day.

The film has only a 41% favorable rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and the film cost is 150 million US dollars. It can be seen that the box office performance of the film is average, and it may be difficult to recover the cost only in the North American market.

“Uncharted” is an adaptation of the classic game of the same name and tells the story of a pair of duo looking for treasure from 500 years ago.

The movie went through so many directors, and finally locked in “Venom” director Ruben Fleischer.

It has a 41% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and like “Venom”, “Uncharted” is good in many ways, but the plot is not attractive.

The plot of the movie is basically a brainless cool movie type, the audience can be mindless, and it is quite enjoyable to watch the high-altitude battles and spaceship air battles in the action scenes.

Especially in the high-altitude war, using various items on the plane to escape in a thrilling way, there is also a shadow of Jackie Chan movies

But the whole movie is a bit too tribute to “Pirates of the Caribbean”, maybe limited by cost, and some special effects scenes are a bit rough.
