Co-starring Dutch brothers Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg, the film "Uncharted Seas", based on Sony's game of the same name, will land in mainland theaters on March 14. The film tells the story of Nathan, played by Dutch brother, and Victor, played by Mark Wahlberg, who embark on an adventure to find the treasure that Magellan lost 500 years ago.
01 The popularity of IP is different, and the popularity of "Uncharted Sea" is much worse
The reason why the box office of "Uncharted Sea" cannot surpass "Spider-Man: Heroes No Return" is that the "IP popularity" of the two is very different. "Spider-Man: Heroes Of No Return" can sweep the global box office because of the support of the super big IP of "Spider-Man", which has become a huge "gold sucking beast" after decades of accumulation from comics to movies.
In contrast, the movie "Uncharted Sea", although it is also claimed to be based on the game of the same name, can also be regarded as a "popular IP adaptation movie". However, compared with the "Spider-Man IP" that has begun to attract gold in the last century, "Uncharted Seas" is a big difference in popularity and attractiveness, and there is no comparison at all.
02 The plot of "Treasure Hunt Adventure" is too old-fashioned and unattractive
In addition to the lack of "IP heat", it is difficult for Dutch brother's new work "Uncharted Sea" to match "Spider-Man: Homeless Hero" at the box office. The theme of the "treasure hunting expedition" told by "Uncharted" is also the reason why this movie is difficult to match "Spider-Man: Heroes And Homeless" at the box office.
Although the story plot of "Uncharted Sea" is coated with the cloak of "Magellan", the story of this kind of treasure hunting expedition has long been common in today's big explosion of film and television works, not only unattractive, but also very old-fashioned. This kind of "treasure hunting expedition" setting, in fact, is far less attractive than the domestic "tomb robbery theme" film and television works.
03 The global box office and word of mouth are not good
In addition to the above two points, it is difficult for "Uncharted" to surpass "Spider-Man: Homeless" at the box office, and from the global box office that has been achieved, as well as the reputation of the audience, it is also not good. After "Uncharted" landed in U.S. theaters on February 18, it has achieved a North American box office result of only $106 million so far, which is far from the $789 million box office of "Spider-Man: Homeless".
In addition, on the Internet, the audience who has seen the film is not very high, most people give ratings on two stars, three stars, and most of the evaluations given are "qualified popcorn movies" and "the second one is completely unnecessary" such as "bad reviews". Under such a "word of mouth", it is a difficult thing for "Uncharted Sea" to achieve a "box office counterattack" with the help of word of mouth.
Of course, for the Dutch brother to be able to "get rid of" the role of Spider-Man, to try different roles or to give affirmation. However, as far as the current data of all parties is concerned, his new work "Uncharted Sea" is absolutely impossible to surpass "Spider-Man: Heroes Without Return" at the box office.
And what kind of box office results "Uncharted" will eventually achieve, can only wait until the film is released, and then find out.
