Clue
When six covert operatives are lured to an isolated New England manor and confronted with blackmail over their darkest secrets, they must decide whether to murder the enigmatic butler before a hidden assassin strikes, or risk exposure as deadly games turn lethal.
“It's not just a game anymore.”
Synopsis
Clue follows six dinner guests who gather at the mansion of their host, Mr. Boddy, who is revealed to be blackmailing them all. After his secret is exposed, Boddy is found dead, and the guests, along with the chatty butler, must determine who among them is the killer before more deaths occur.

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 1.0× 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).
