Another easy win for a horror movie, as Silent Hill rides to the top with $20.2 million. As profitable as usual for these movies, this one will break even by next week.
Less scary is Scary Movie 4, and it has to do with runner-up spot this week, with $17 million. Another new entry at 3, thriller The Sentinel, starring Kiefer Sutherland and Michael Douglas, opens with $14.7 million.
Ice Age: The Meltdown is really feeling the heat of the newcomers, but it’s still strong at number 4 with $12.8 million. The Wild drops one spot, rounding out the top 5 with $8.1 million, keeping a lot of retention (83%) from last week, though what starts low, stays low.
