The opening weekend of Tom Holland’s newest movie — Uncharted — is now behind us, so now it’s time to calculate the first box-office results.

According to the first numbers, Uncharted grossed $51 million domestically, and $81 million internationally. Using simple math, we see that Uncharted grossed $139 million worldwide, which puts it on top of the box office during its opening weekend. Uncharted’s reported budget is $120 million, so according to the first numbers, it seems like Sony can already think about making a sequel, which the movie’s end has already set up.

Venom and Zombieland director Ruben Fleischer directed the movie adaptation of Naughty Dog’s video game series. Spider-Man star Tom Holland was cast as young Nathan Drake, who was played in video games by Nolan North. Despite the box-office success, the movie received mixed reviews. Sony is hoping to start a new franchise on the big screen with Uncharted, and it seems like that might become a reality.

You can check the movie’s official synopsis and our spoiler-free review down below:

“Treasure hunter Victor “Sully” Sullivan recruits street-smart Nathan Drake to help him recover a 500-year-old lost fortune amassed by explorer Ferdinand Magellan. What starts out as a heist soon becomes a globe-trotting, white-knuckle race to reach the prize before the ruthless Santiago Moncada can get his hands on it. If Sully and Nate can decipher the clues and solve one of the world’s oldest mysteries, they stand to find $5 billion in treasure — but only if they can learn to work together.” — Uncharted, official synopsis

He's also a web designer and holds a Master’s degree in general Computer Science from the Faculty of Informatics based in Pula, Croatia. Since 2018, Lukas has worked on several portals writing about movies, TV shows, and video games. He's currently writing articles for two of them: Fiction Horizon and Comic Basics. He also has a YouTube channel in his native language, and the content there is mostly reviewing popular movies and TV shows. Lukas also has an Instagram page where he once used to post fan-made posters he made, which is something he would like to continue working on, as photo and video editing are also some of his passions. Lukas is a big movie lover who is okay with watching any kind of movie. His favorite movie is Michael Curtiz's Casablanca, but he's a loyal follower of Marvel and DC movies, as well as several other blockbuster franchises he's been following for years; Star Wars, Fast & Furious, Mission: Impossible, and James Cameron's Avatar are only some of them. His favorite director is Christopher Nolan, with Quentin Tarantino and Denis Villeneuve as honorable mentions. Lukas is also a big fan of four fantasy multimedia franchises; The Wizarding World, A Song of Ice and Fire, The Witcher, and The Lord of the Rings. He calls them "the four rulers of the fantasy genre." He loves to write about anything spawned from those franchises (books, games, movies...), as well as anything branded with the Marvel or DC logo. Video games and their adaptations are also something he follows faithfully since he's a big fan of story-driven single-player games like Assassin's Creed, The Last of Us, Uncharted, etc. His favorite video game ever is Red Dead Redemption 2.
