Tom Holland’s Uncharted claims another treasure at the weekend box office
Tom Holland continues to rule over the U.S. box office, and it's not even close
Aux News Uncharted
The Uncharted movie may have won the top spot of another weekend, but the box office itself is anything but uncharted: The top five movies this week are the same as last week, movies six and seven just swapped places, and the only new additions in the top 10 didn’t even crack $2 million. So it’s not the most exciting weekend the U.S. box office has ever seen, but maybe everyone was busy alternating between Elden Ring and watching the news.
Anyway, Uncharted made another $23 million in its second week, which is a big drop, but it’s only another $20 million short of $100 million now. Those aren’t Spider-Man: No Way Home numbers, but they’re okay. It’s more than some other movies will make, at least.
Next is Channing Tatum’s underdog performer Dog, which expanded its rollout this week and made another $10 million, bringing it to $30 million. Then No Way Home, which made only $5 million this week but has already made $780 million, give or take. That’s certainly more than Death On The Nile will make, even if it’s just a hair under No Way Home this week (it’s at a total of $32 million after three weeks). If you remember this all from last week, you’ll know that Jackass Forever and its gleeful exploration of pain and male nudity is next, making $3 million and sitting at a total of $52 million.
The next chunk is where things get exciting: Sing 2 and Marry Me flip-flopped positions, the former now in sixth and the latter in seventh, though they both made similar amounts of money. Then are the new ones: Foo Fighters horror movie Studio 666 and the Peter Dinklage-starring Cyrano. The former made $1.5 million, but Cyrano made $1.4 million with less than half of the number of theaters. Finishing out the list is Scream, a movie that seemed like a fairly big hit at the time but is already a ways under Uncharted after seven weeks (it made $1.3 million and has $79 million total).

It vexes me that the Uncharted movie put a Papa John’s in Barcelona instead of Telepizza.
Is Papa John even a real pizza (by Italian standard)?
I’m sorry they did what now
So, will The Batman be a failure if it does less than nine figures?
Guess it depends on who you are. I’m not invested in the movie, so it making 10 billion dollars and being crappy means it’s a failure, imo. And if I like it, it could lose money for all I care; I’d consider it a success.
I’m going to say it makes around $80-85m. There’s a couple of things going against it. It’s almost a three hour movie and it looks really dour so it’s not a crowd pleaser like Spider-Man. The review embargo is over tomorrow so we’ll see what the reviews are like.
i really have no idea what it cost to make, either. so much of the filming was done over covid, which i read somewhere cost like 25-30% more than normal.i think, like all box office nonsense, there will be math that says it’s a huge success and math that says it actually lost hundreds of millions.that being said i think we’re looking at a 100+ million opening weekend easy.
Genuinely happy for Tom Holland for avoiding the “MCU actors are only profitable when they star in MCU movies” curse.
“Scream, a movie that seemed like a fairly big hit at the time but is already a ways under Uncharted after seven weeks (it made $1.3 million and has $79 million total).”Scream only cost $24m, Uncharted cost $120. Add on about 50% for marketing and Uncharted will be losing money at the box office and Scream will already be earning a nice profit. Now obviously this gets a lot more complex when you get to VOD, streaming, sequels, merch, etc.
