Femme Fatale
A cunning ex‑thief turned diplomat’s wife must outwit relentless pursuers who have uncovered her true identity and the priceless stolen diamond before they destroy her new life.
“Nothing is more desirable or more deadly than a woman with a secret.”
Synopsis
Laure Ash has taken big risks and reaped big rewards: a $10-million diamond heist, a stolen identity, and a new life as the wife of a diplomat. But when a tabloid photographer captures her image in Paris, enemies from Laure's hidden past gain knowledge of her true identity and current location. Now, they are closing in, seeking the stolen diamond, her life, or both.

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 0.5× 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).
