Tom Holland’s Uncharted has been declared a franchise by Sony after its massive success at the box office on the first opening weekend. The video-game adaptation, which sees Holland as Nathan Drake and Mark Wahlberg as Victor Sullivan, earned $51 million in just four days, despite receiving low ratings by critics.
Recently, the director of the movie, Ruben Fleischer, praised Tom and revealed that the actor didn’t compromise this movie over superhit Spider-Man: No Way Home when the filming clashed. Holland’s Marvel flick became the biggest movie of 2021, and with his latest action-adventure movie, he is reigning the charts.
That being said, ever since Uncharted has topped the US box office, Sony Pictures is already celebrating Tom Holland starrer’s success by calling it a new movie franchise. According to Deadline, the company’s CEO Tom Rotham, sent a company-wide email to celebrate the success of the movie. Currently, the Mark Wahlberg starrer has churned in almost $140 million from across the globe.
