Following its 2022 release, theUnchartedmovie adaptation has found success on one streaming platform after sailing to the top of the charts. Starring Tom Holland as lead Nathan Drake, Mark Wahlberg, Sophia, Ali, Tati Gabrielle, and Antonio Banderas, theUnchartedlive-action saw Drake and friends racing to find the lost treasure of the Magellan expedition, but the film didn’t receive the warmest of reviews from video game fans.
The adaptation is based on the action-adventure video game series by Naughty Dog, the developer behindThe Last of Us, and the franchise kicked off in 2007 withUncharted: Drake’s Fortune. Several sequels followed, including the very popular standalone expansionUncharted: The Lost Legacy, and a remaster ofUncharted: A Thief’s End, the game that provided the most inspiration for the movie, was released in 2022 alongside the live-action. Naughty Dog’s game series, particularlyA Thief’s End, is considered to be one of thebest cinematic games, alongside the likes ofHellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice,Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns Of The Patriots, andThe Last Of Us Part 2.
Uncharted Movie Bags Number Two Spot on Amazon Prime Video’s US Chart
Reported by MovieWeb,Unchartedhas reached the number two spot on Amazon Prime Video’s top 10 movies chart within the United States. Considering the feature was sitting at number six only a week ago, it’s quite a noteworthy jump.Unchartedcelebrated its digital release back in 2022with behind-the-scenes clips, and it’s surprising to see the adaptation reach the top of the charts three years later. The movie also landed on Max at the start of 2025, and it’s available to buy or rent on Prime now, offering one of the cheapest prices among other streaming competitors.
Since its explosive release on the silver screen, a potential sequel has still to appear.Unchartedproducer Charles Roven confirmed Sony was interested in making another film, despite the first outing not becoming a major hit with fans of the game series. Instead, the feature seems to have appealed more to movie buffs who weren’t familiar with the source material, boasting a high-octane treasure-hunting adventure for all ages. Currently sitting with a 41% score on Rotten Tomatoes and a contradictory 89% Popcornmeter score, fans of the game complained the movie failed to deliver the same quality of writing and storytelling as the games, but admitted newcomers would enjoy the adventure without the need to compare.
JoiningUncharted, the ongoingThe Last of Uslive-action series under HBO, and the in-productionGhost of Tsushimamovie, Sony also has another adaptation in the works. Amazon Prime has aGod of Warshow in the pipeline, and theshowrunner recently confirmed how many seasonsthe streaming service is planning. Following Spartan warrior Kratos on his path of vengeance through different ancient mythologies, the Prime adaptation recently bagged Netflix’sThe Witcherwriter Tania Lotia, who also wrote and producedInvincible,Carnival Row, andSwamp Thing. With Sony green-lighting so many live-action adaptations, it proves how cinematic its games are, and withUnchartedsailing to the top of the charts, it’s likely a sequel will be announced soon.
