Basic Instinct 2
Renowned crime novelist Catherine Tramell is forced into psychiatric evaluation, and when the assessing doctor becomes dangerously obsessed with her, he must outwit her seductive mind games before they turn lethal.
“Everything interesting begins in the mind”
Synopsis
Catherine Tramell, a novelist, finds herself in legal trouble once more, prompting Scotland Yard to assign psychiatrist Dr. Michael Glass to assess her. Like Detective Nick Curran before him, Glass becomes captivated by Tramell and drawn into a seductive and dangerous game.

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.

📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.6× 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).
