Not every Martin Scorsese movie instantly gets called a masterpiece, but why did the Andrew Garfield-led Silence flop so hard?
Silence is one of Martin Scorsese's greatest masterpieces. That's a bold statement to declare for a man whose career is largely just one hit after another, but it's true. Scorsese has often meditated on theological matters and religious suffering in his works, but rarely has he probed those concepts with such insight or power as he does in Silence.
In its domestic run, Silence only made $7.1 million, with its peak theater count being only 1,580 locations. In the pantheon of Scorsese narrative directorial efforts released in the wake of his 1973 film Mean Streets, only two Scorsese features have made less domestically: Kundun and The King of Comedy . Silence somehow made less than Scorsese's other uber-religious movie, The Last Temptation of Christ, which grossed $8.3 million domestically nearly 30 years earlier.
Paramount was an immensely troubled studio in the mid-2010s and Silence was just one of many movies from this era that the company awkwardly handled. Only in late September 2016 did Paramount finally announce that Silence would begin a limited-release theatrical run on December 23, 2016.
