Linux unzip file from script without outputting the unzipped file names

I unzipped a file from a script with "unzip filename.zip" and in the terminal I see all the unzipped file names. I would like to unzip the file without printing those names so that I have a clean terminal interface.

From the MODIFIERS section of man unzip:

-q perform operations quietly (-qq = even quieter). Ordinarily unzip prints the names of the files it's extracting or testing, the extraction methods, any file or zipfile comments that may be stored in the archive, and possibly a summary when finished with each archive. The -q[q] options suppress the printing of some or all of these messages.

So

unzip -q filename.zip
