300: Rise of an Empire
When a newly deified Persian king launches a vengeful invasion of Greece, an Athenian strategist must unite rival city‑states and command a daring naval strike to halt the unstoppable tide.
“Seize your glory!”
Synopsis
General Themistocles seeks to unite Greece as he leads an effort that alters the war’s direction. He confronts the large invading Persian forces commanded by Xerxes, who has become a god, and Artemisia, the vengeful commander of the Persian navy.

Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

✅ Made its money back — grossed 3.1× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
