First Knight
When a war‑torn kingdom needs a unifying leader, idealistic knight Lancelot must choose between his oath to King Arthur and a forbidden love for Queen Guinevere, risking the fall of Camelot.
“Their greatest battle would be for her love.”
Synopsis
This period drama reimagines the timeless story of King Arthur and the legend of Camelot. Arthur is hesitant to pass the crown to Lancelot, while Guinevere struggles between her duty to her husband and her developing feelings for his rival. At the same time, Lancelot must navigate his allegiance to the throne against the pull of genuine love.

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 2.3× 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).
