Deep Water Nears Silent Hill's Box Office Haul
13 May
Summary
- Deep Water needs $1.8 million to surpass Return to Silent Hill's box office.
- The film's current domestic earnings stand at $3.7 million.
- Deep Water faces a steep challenge to break even on its $40 million budget.
As of May 13, 2026, Aaron Eckhart's survival film Deep Water has grossed $3.7 million domestically. The movie, which opened on May 1, 2026, requires an additional $1.8 million to surpass the North American box office earnings of the horror film Return to Silent Hill. This puts Deep Water in a critical phase of its theatrical run.
Despite a 72% critics' score and 74% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, Deep Water's box office performance has lagged behind its substantial $40 million budget. The film's initial domestic opening was $2.1 million, followed by a 60.2% drop in its second weekend. To break even, it needs to reach $100 million, a target that currently seems unlikely.
Directed by Renny Harlin, Deep Water tells the story of survivors stranded in the Pacific Ocean after a flight crash, facing deadly sharks. While it has already outgrossed titles like We Bury the Dead and Mother Mary, its ability to exceed Return to Silent Hill's earnings will depend on steady audience holdovers in the coming weeks.
