Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters
Teenage witch‑hunters Hansel, a sugar‑craving diabetic, and his fearless sister Gretel race into the town of Augsburg to save innocent Mina from a murderous sheriff’s execution—only to confront a vengeful witch whose dark magic could doom them all.
“Revenge is sweeter than candy.”
Synopsis
After developing a taste for blood in childhood, Hansel and Gretel become vigilantes driven by retribution. Unaware of it, they later find themselves pursued and must confront an evil that surpasses witches: their own past.

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 hit — grossed 4.5× 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).
