Video game movies are not cursed anymore and the year 2022 has proved it with smash hits like Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and Uncharted. Speaking of the latter, then the Tom Holland starring big-screen adaptation is not done yet when it comes to creating new records.
As per the latest reports, Sony’s Uncharted film just went past the mark of $400 million at the global box office. It’s astonishing to witness such a performance from this film. That’s because of two main reasons: firstly, it has done despite being a video game movie. Secondly, it has managed to do so in an era impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
