For centuries, the Green Lantern Corps, a small but powerful group of warriors, has been tasked with maintaining order across the galaxy. Each member is equipped with a ring that bestows them with superhuman abilities. However, when a new threat named Parallax emerges and jeopardizes the balance of power in the universe, the destiny of both the Corps and Earth hinges on the first human ever to be recruited.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

A crew of 345+ 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.

Box Office

2011 · Box office

⚖️ Fell short of break-even — grossed 1.1× 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).
