After linking a few weeks with a box office defined by monotony and the lack of one of those potential blockbusters that they add a little sauce to the matter, on February 11 all eyes fell on the long-awaited ‘Uncharted’, which closed its international debut with a more than decent 21.5 million dollars harvested between five markets —including the Spanish , in which he amassed 3 million—.
Smells like a sequel
This figure made many of us think that the adaptation of the Naughty Dog video game saga had all the ballots to become a new franchise; a sensation that today we can almost confirm after its fantastic premiere on American soil. And it is that, during its first three days on the bill, Ruben Fleischer’s film has raised a whopping $44.15 million.
But beware, because this 21st is Presidents’ Day, which means an extra day that could translate into a total launch close to 51 million dollars; amount that almost doubles the expectations of Sony Pictures, where they did not expect their new box office banner to exceed the 27 million in its first three days.
To the estimate of 51 million dollars should be added the international collection, which has already reached 88 million in 19 markets distributed between Europe, Latin America and Asia. Total, ‘Uncharted’ has already pocketed 139 million dollars that exceed its budget by almost 20, and there is still the premiere in China dated March 14. Did someone say sequel?
In Spain, the premiere of ‘Death on the Nile’ has not managed to surpass the film starring Tom Holland, which once again occupies the first position of the Top 5 with the most watched over the weekend. We will have to see how much difference he has made with his immediate pursuer.
