G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra
When rogue weapons master James McCullen unleashes nanobot warheads capable of devouring any metal, a disgraced soldier and his partner must join the elite G.I. Joe unit—led by Snake Eyes and Scarlett—to stop an army of nano‑enhanced troops from triggering global chaos.
“When all else fails, they don't.”

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
A crew of 968+ 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.

2009 · Box office
⚖️ 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).
