Sony’s Uncharted, based on the 15-year-old Amy Hennig and Naughty Dog-created Sony PlayStation video game, grossed $3.7M in Thursday night previews that began at 4PM. That’s a solid number which bests the pre-pandemic previews of such mid-February hits like Sonic the Hedgehog ($3M, from showtimes that began at 5PM), Kingsman: The Secret Service ($1.5M, off 7PM), and even with March PG-13 adventure movie Kong: Skull Island ($3.7M). Industry projections earlier this week had the Tom Holland-Mark Wahlberg movie in the mid $30Ms over the 4-day Presidents weekend, possibly $40M, however, these preview figures provide great hope for better returns.

 

MGM/United Artists Releasing had the buddy canine comedy, Dog, starring Channing Tatum, which in Valentine’s Day sneaks and previews yesterday, which started at 4PM, saw $1.26M. The movie, which Tatum also co-directed, is 80% fresh currently on Rotten Tomatoes and has an outlook of $12M over 4-days with an eye on women and Latino and Hispanic audiences.

Almost shocked about Dog before I remembered the 2/14 showings. It may have a decent opening though we'll see.

Huh, nice for Uncharted. Glad to see some non-negligible BO. 

[Tokugennumataka]

The second weekend drop will not be kind to DOTN or Marry me

[snarkmachine]

Tom Holland movie star era?? Surprised this did as well as it did with that RT score

[Cmasterclay]

Wow, these numbers are fucking good!

[CJohn]

This shit might actually do 100M DOM fucking lmao.

 

People need to remember DOG had previews on Valentine's Day, that number is meaningless. 

[Borobudur]

Wow, 30m 3 days is not a too much ask for Uncharted! Maybe people just want to see NWH for another round but mistakenly buy Uncharted ticket.

Even then, we're still probably going to reach 15M+, which is absurdly good for a movie of this type. At the very least, it'll match Death on the Nile at like half the cost. Channing's still got it!

Woof at that Nile drop. Even the holiday won't save this.

I saw Uncharted yesterday, average at best  its a 5/10 movie for me and thats generous.

Hard to say when previews started at 4 but should be at least $35M+ for the 4-day frame, which seems acceptable.

[Tokugennumataka]

NWH will be #3 for the weekend

[picores]

I think 40m 4-day is in play for Uncharted

[BruiseCruise]

If i had to guess 37mil 4 day

[Krissykins]

Great for both.
 

Death on the Nile needs a good Friday bump.

What was Dog's budget?

Deadline didn’t report one. Uncharted is $120m though. 
 

I can’t imagine Dog being expensive.
