Talking Heads Concert Film ‘Stop Making Sense’ Re-Release Surpasses Initial Box Office Run

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.
