Big George Foreman
A former World Heavyweight Champion turned preacher, George Foreman must confront his violent past and face the ring once more to reclaim his title and inspire his struggling community.
“When life gives you a second chance, don't do it for yourself. Do it for everyone you love.”
Synopsis
George Foreman grew up in poverty and used his frustration to become an Olympic gold medalist and World Heavyweight Champion. After a near-death experience, he left boxing to become a minister. Later, upon seeing his community facing spiritual and financial challenges, he returned to the ring and reclaimed his title, becoming the oldest and most unlikely World Heavyweight Champion in history.

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 0.1× 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).
