1991: The 25th Anniversary of "The Silence of the Lambs"

THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS. Orion Pictures (1991). It opened on Valentine's Day 1991 & ran for 5 months. It stayed at the top of the box office for 6 weeks. Orion Pictures was going bankrupt & plunked it into U.S. theaters to try & earn some cash. It was made for a mere $19 million & grossed $130 million domestically. It's world wide total grabbed $272 million. It went on to win 5 Academy Awards & Orion only had enough money to send VHS tapes to Academy members for voting purposes.
