On this day September 13, 1985, Martin Scorsese’s dark comedy After Hours hit theaters, showcasing a departure from his usual gritty crime films. The movie featured an ensemble cast led by Griffin Dunne, alongside Rosanna Arquette, Cheech Marin, Thomas Chong, Linda Fiorentino, and more. After Hours tells the story of a New York City man whose simple night out turns into a series of surreal and increasingly bizarre events.

With a modest budget of $4.5 million, the film earned $10.6 million at the box office and received praise for its offbeat humor, unique storytelling, and Scorsese’s directing style. Though it didn’t achieve massive commercial success, After Hours has since gained a strong cult following for its quirky, unpredictable narrative and standout performances.

Fun Fact!

After Hours was a significant project for Scorsese, helping reignite his passion for filmmaking after the setbacks of his earlier film, The King of Comedy.
