Blue Streak
A charismatic jewel thief breaks out of prison to reclaim a stolen diamond hidden inside a newly built police precinct, forcing him to pose as an LAPD detective and outwit both the law and rival criminals before his cover is blown.
“He's a cop that's not. Believe that!”
Synopsis
Miles Logan is a jewel thief who recently achieved notoriety by stealing a large diamond. After serving two years in prison, he discovers that he had hidden the diamond in a police building that was under construction at the time of the robbery. In an effort to recover the diamond, he assumes the identity of an LAPD detective.

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.

⚖️ Fell short of break-even — grossed 1.8× 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).
