Bull Durham
Veteran catcher Crash Davis is hired to whip a raw pitching prodigy into shape for the majors, but his mission spirals when a charismatic groupie falls for both men, forcing him to balance mentorship, ambition, and a risky romance.
“Romance is a lot like baseball. It's not whether you win or lose. It's how you play the game.”
Synopsis
Veteran catcher Crash Davis is brought to the minor league Durham Bulls to mentor their promising young pitching prospect, "Nuke" Laloosh. Their initial interactions are strained, and the dynamic becomes more complex when Annie Savoy, a baseball groupie, becomes interested in both men.

A crew of 239+ 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
1988 · Box office
💰 Box-office hit — grossed 7.3× 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
$50.9M
Opening weekend: $5.0M — 10% of its US run. It had legs — it kept earning long after opening weekend.
Opening week (7-day): $9.0M — 18% of its US & Canada run.
