Dogville
An earnest philosopher in an isolated mountain town must shield a desperate fugitive from relentless gangsters, risking his own quest for moral leadership to save both her life and the community’s fragile peace.
“A quiet little town not far from here.”
Synopsis
A woman fleeing from the mob is reluctantly taken in by a small Colorado community in exchange for her labor, but when a search party arrives in town, she discovers that their acceptance comes at a cost.

A crew of 51+ 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.

⚖️ Fell short of break-even — grossed 1.7× 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).
