I was just thinking to myself the other day about how many actually good movies Mark Wahlberg has been in. I could only come up with The Fighter and Boogie Nights. He is a terrible actor that does terrible movies. Good on him I guess for still being so popular.
Must have been profitable enough to satisfy the bean counters. I just have a hard time thinking they can make another profitable movie after everyone knows what a pile of shit the first one was.
Budget $120m, box office $407m (according to wiki). There is ZERO chance a second one can even come close to those box office numbers. I think a lot of people were just excited for a movie based on the games. I was one of them, just glad I didn't pay to see it in theaters, lol.
I watched it with very low expectations. IMO it was more entertaining than Red Notice, which came out at the same time and I guess sold itself as "We have Uncharted at home. "
