"Silent" Majority

The latest battle in the box office war has been fought and the results are chronicled best, as always, Brandon Gray of Box Office Mojo.Com:

'Silent Hill' reaped an estimated $20.2 million to top the weekend, while 'The Sentinel' secured a modest launch [landing in 3rd place with $14.6 million] and 'American Dreamz' [in 8th place with just $3.6 million] hit a sour note...

I wasn't as surprised that Silent Hill took the top spot, as much as I was that Scary Movie 4 overtook The Sentinel to have the second spot, with an additional $17 million in ticket sales. I thought for sure the spoof would have ended up somewhere behind the actioner when all was said and done.
