Lost City Box Office: Sandra Bullock Movie Is 3rd Highest Debut Of 2022
The Lost City is now set to have the third-biggest opening weekend of 2022 so far. The film, which was directed by brothers Aaron and Adam Nee and opened on March 25, 2022, is a romantic comedy adventure film in the vein of Romancing the Stone. It stars a glittering ensemble of A-listers including Sandra Bullock, Daniel Radcliffe, Brad Pitt, and Channing Tatum, who has been making a comeback in 2022 after stepping back from acting for several years.

The only person who can save her (or so he thinks), is Alan Caprison (Channing Tatum), a cover model who plays her intrepid lead character Dash McMahon.
