“They saved the best for last.”
Synopsis
In the sixth installment of the *Nightmare on Elm Street* series, Freddy Krueger makes a return as psychologist Maggie Burroughs experiences recurring nightmares that lead her to a patient suffering from the same terrifying dreams. Together, they investigate the source of their visions, which ultimately leads them to a house on Elm Street, where the nightmares transform into reality.

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 3.5× 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).
