This movie is looking at like a $2M opening weekend at best in the US.
Meanwhile in China it might open to $13M+ and will easily outgross every MCU/DCU movie that released in 2025.
I have a hard time remembering when the discrepancy was this high for a movie in favor of China.

The chinese really got an audience for horror films, after so many years of censorship.

How did it get a release? I thought movies with evil spirits were banned.

Curiously in my neck of the woods the evening showings were 3/4 full which was a surprise to me. Even if the understanding is that this will be heavily front-loaded, that’s still a hefty amount for Thursday. But of course that could just be my area for some unique reason.

This is a very well-known IP worldwide, both in video games and movies; I have no idea why this one had almost no promotion in theaters.

I am sure it is quite bad, but I would rather see Silent Hill over Mercy any day of the week.

The top line of this poster says teenage audience should take caution (there is no body to rate a film in China like MPAA so audience of any ages are allowed once the film is granted the “dragon certificate”)
