Another 48 Hrs.

“The boys are back in town.”
Synopsis
Over the past four years, San Francisco police officer Jack Cates has pursued an unidentified drug kingpin known as the Ice Man. Jack discovers a photograph that reveals the Ice Man has placed a bounty on the head of Reggie Hammond, who is set to be released from prison the following day.

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.

💰 Box-office hit — grossed 4.0× 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).
