Uncharted, a forthcoming blockbuster starring Hollywood star Tom Holland, who has a huge fan base in China for his incarnation of Spider-Man, is scheduled to open across domestic theaters, including over 750 IMAX cinemas, on March 14.

As the first movie adapted from PlayStation's popular video game series of the same name, the adventure epic follows a street-smart thief alongside a seasoned treasure hunter to recover a fortune lost by Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan around five centuries ago.

A premiere jointly held by Sony Pictures, IMAX and PlayStation was held in a downtown Beijing cinema on Thursday night, bringing together a lot of fans.

According to the event's presenters, Holland got interested in playing the game series when he was shooting Spider-Man: Homecoming in 2016, which made him excited when he was invited to be cast in Uncharted.

During a promotional video tailored for the Chinese market, Holland jokingly said he should tell his mother that spending all his spare time on video games was not "in vain".

A visual feast studded with arresting scenes set from sky to sea, the movie, which opened in the United States on Feb 18, had secured the top seat atop the global box office charts consecutively for two weeks before The Batman overtook it earlier this month.

Review-aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes has seen the movie's popcorn index given by audiences currently reach 90 percent, signaling its popularity accumulated by the stardom and visual effect.
