Dogma
Two banished angels, Bartleby and the inebriated Loki, must infiltrate a chaotic rededication ceremony in New Jersey to claim a miraculous indulgence that will restore their souls—while battling demonic henchmen and mortal skeptics who threaten to keep them forever earthbound.
“Get "touched" by an angel.”
Synopsis
A worker at an abortion clinic, who possesses a unique heritage, is summoned to prevent the annihilation of humanity, as two renegade angels attempt to exploit a loophole in order to reenter Heaven.

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 3.4× 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).
