4. Don’t Believe the Box Office Hype…
In its wide opening weekend, Silence grossed about $2 million dollars. If that doesn’t sound good, that’s because it’s not. The movie ranked at number 16 in its first three days because (oddly), people don’t want to spend nearly three hours in a theater watching a music-free film about tormented priests. On DVD though, things will be different. Remember how awesome Casino is? When that one premiered it grossed a measly $10 million in its opening weekend. And that’s a film starring Robert de Niro, Sharon Stone, and Joe Pesci. Scorsese doesn’t necessarily score big on opening weekend, but no one fills a Friday night on the couch quite as well.
