Boiler Room
A young, ambitious college dropout rises through the ranks of a fast-paced suburban brokerage firm, but soon discovers the high-pressure game of stock trading is built on deception, manipulation, and crime.
“Welcome to the new American dream.”
Synopsis
A college dropout secures a position as a broker at a suburban investment firm and quickly moves up the career ladder—though the legitimacy of the job remains questionable.

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 4.1× 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).
