Child's Play 2
A terrified young boy must evade a murderous, soul‑stealing doll that tracks him into a hostile foster home, fighting for his life before the killer toy claims its ultimate prize.
“Sorry Jack... Chucky's back!”
Synopsis
A toy factory reconstructs Chucky in an effort to dispel negative publicity surrounding the doll, and he tracks young Andy Barclay to a foster home, where the chase begins again.

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.

✅ Made its money back — grossed 2.8× 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).
