Why did they show this scene? (SPOILER)


In the first scene we get to see a memorial place and they show the names of who have passed ect. Immediately when i saw those names and that scene i thought ok those guys wont make it than. This first scene kind of ruined the movie for me cause i kept thinking ok they will die at the end.
Why did they show this scene in the first place? Why didnt they show that scene at the end?
So annoying

It is to show all those that have died at sea and since the movie revolves around fishermen, how dangerous a profession it it.

When the movie came out it was widely discussed that the crew didn't survive.

The movie poster is pretty much a dead give away too.
I dont think any boat that size, would survive being up that high on a wave.

Opening poster should stick to cartoons!
