Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter The classic Talking Heads concert film “Stop Making Sense” has generated $5 million at the box office since returning to theaters in the fall.
With this benchmark, the “Stop Making Sense” re-release has generated more coinage than the film’s entire initial 41-week run ($4.95 million) in 1984.
Of course, this milestone comes with a massive caveat: Ticket sales aren’t adjusted for inflation, and prices were significantly less expensive four decades ago.
So, attendance was higher during the original release. Still, it’s an impressive turnout for a 40-year-old documentary about a band whose members are currently in their 70s and 80s.
