Uncharted film marks the start of a new franchise, Sony says

Following successful box office sales, Sony Pictures boss Tom Rothman has declared Uncharted a “new hit movie franchise for the company”.

In a company-wide email, Rothman wrote: “It is Presidents Day in America, but we are open in most places around the world today and we have another global triumph to celebrate.

“With over $100m in box office worldwide in just one weekend, and a 90 percent positive audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, Uncharted is a new hit movie franchise for the company.”

Rothman went on to say that the success of Uncharted marked “a great victory for every single division of the company, as the film was our first major production entirely shut down by the advent of Covid, yet we persevered to complete a picture the audience loves and marketed and distributed it with strategic verve worldwide, despite the pandemic.”
