From Wikipedia:
Uncharted is a 2022 American action-adventure film directed by Ruben Fleischer from a screenplay by Rafe Lee Judkins, Art Marcum and Matt Holloway. Based on Naughty Dog's video game series of the same name, it stars Tom Holland as Nathan Drake and Mark Wahlberg as his mentor Victor Sullivan, with Sophia Ali, Tati Gabrielle, and Antonio Banderas in supporting roles. In the film, Drake is recruited by Sullivan in a race against corrupt billionaire Santiago Moncada (Banderas) and his hired mercenary Jo Braddock (Gabrielle) to locate the treasure of the Magellan expedition.
Uncharted entered development in 2008 with producer Avi Arad stating that he would be working with Sony Pictures to develop a film adaptation of the video game series. It entered a complicated production process with various directors, screenwriters, and cast members attached at various points. Filmmakers David O. Russell, Neil Burger, Seth Gordon, Shawn Levy, Dan Trachtenberg, and Travis Knight were initially signed to direct while Wahlberg was set to play Drake in early development. Holland was cast as Drake in May 2017 and Fleischer was hired as the director in early 2020. Principal photography commenced in March 2020, before being quickly halted, resuming in July and finishing that October, with filming locations including Babelsberg Studio in Berlin and on location across Spain and Southeast Asia.
Uncharted was originally set for release on December 18, 2020 but was postponed several times, namely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It premiered in Barcelona on February 7, 2022, and was theatrically released in the United States by Sony Pictures Releasing on February 18. The film received mixed reviews from critics, with praise for Holland's performance, but criticism for the screenplay, casting, comedic tone, and lack of originality. Uncharted grossed $139 million worldwide, making it the fifth highest grossing film of 2022.
Nathan and Sam Drake are caught by security for trying to steal the first world map made after the Magellan expedition. Because this is Sam’s third strike, the orphanage that houses both boys is kicking Sam out and forcing him to stay elsewhere, away from Nate. Nate goes to their room and catches Sam sneaking out to be on his own, but he promises his little brother that he will return for him. Sam leaves him with a ring belonging to their ancestor Sir Francis Drake, with the inscription “Sic Parvis Magna” (“Greatness from small beginnings”).
As of February 20, 2022, Uncharted grossed $51 million in the United States and Canada, and $88 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $139 million.
In the United States and Canada, Uncharted was released alongside Dog and The Cursed, and was projected to gross $25–35 million from 4,275 theaters in its opening weekend (as well as $30–40 million if including the Presidents' Day holiday). The film earned an estimated $15.4 million on its first day, including $3.7 million from Thursday night previews. Its opening surpassed projections, grossing $44.1 million in three days and $51 million in four days.
Outside the United States and Canada, the film grossed $21.5 million in its opening weekend from 15 international markets (a week before its North American opening). It opened in first place at the box office in all of its markets, including the United Kingdom ($6.4 million), Russia ($4.5 million), and Spain ($3.5 million). The film's international opening gross was reported to be ahead of the debuts of Marvel Studios' Black Widow, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, and Eternals.[105] In its second international weekend (the same weekend it released in North America), the film grossed a further $55.4 million from 62 overseas territories. As of February 20, 2022, the film's largest markets include the U.K. ($16.4 million), France ($6.3 million), Australia ($4 million), Germany ($3.4 million), Italy ($3.1 million), and Korea ($3 million).
