Dominion: Prequel to The Exorcist
A disillusioned priest-archaeologist embarks on a perilous dig to uncover ancient relics, only to confront a malevolent force that threatens both his waning faith and the world’s salvation.
“Go back before the beginning, to the place where evil was born.”
Synopsis
Father Merrin takes a sabbatical from the Church to focus on history and archaeology as he grapples with his shaken faith.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 40
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
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 0.0× 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).
