Cool Runnings
Jamaican sprinter Derice Bannock, denied his chance at the Summer Olympics after a sabotaged trial, races against time and a scandal‑tainted former champion to assemble a makeshift bobsled crew and claim a spot in the Winter Games.
“One dream. Four Jamaicans. Twenty below zero.”
Synopsis
After being disqualified from the Olympic Games, a Jamaican sprinter recruits a disgraced coach to form Jamaica’s inaugural bobsled team.

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 11× 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).
