‘Uncharted’ Tops Domestic Box Office, Overcoming Poor Reviews

“Uncharted,” an action film featuring “Spider-Man” star Tom Holland, led the box office over President’s Day weekend despite critical reviews.

The Sony Group picture, based on one of the company’s video games, generated $44.2 million in U.S. and Canadian ticket sales, according to preliminary numbers Sunday from Comscore Inc. That was above the $30.7 million researcher Boxoffice Pro had forecast. That was the best opening weekend of the year so far, topping the three-day, $30.6 million number set by “Scream” in January.
