Return To Silent Hill Sets Franchise-Low US Opening Weekend https://ift.tt/sVXoDCc

Return to Silent Hill hit the big screen on the weekend, but this adaptation of the beloved Silent Hill 2 video game isn't doing too well critically or commercially in the US.

In comparison, it's far below the $20.1 million US opening weekend of 2006's Silent Hill and the reviled Silent Hill: Revelation, which earned $8 million during its domestic opening.
