Assassin's Creed
A rebellious young Assassin discovers he’s the descendant of a 15th‑century hero and must outwit a powerful corporate Templar cabal to secure an ancient mind‑controlling relic before it reshapes humanity’s free will.
“Your destiny is in your blood.”
Synopsis
Callum Lynch gains access to the genetic memories of his ancestor in 15th-century Spain through a technology that allows him to experience and learn from past lives. He discovers that he is a descendant of an ancient line of Assassins and acquires lethal skills to confront the oppressive Templar Order.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
A crew of 360+ credited
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
2016 · Box office
⚖️ Fell short of break-even — grossed 1.9× 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).
Worldwide gross
$240.7M
US & Canada: $54.6M — 23% of worldwide · International: $186.1M (77%)
Opening weekend: $7.5M — 14% of its US run. It had legs — it kept earning long after opening weekend.
Opening week (7-day): $7.5M — 14% of its US & Canada run.
