Synopsis

Joe Moore is a thief who enjoys his work. However, his situation turns complicated when he is captured on security camera footage. His fence, Bergman, refuses to pay him the money he is owed, and his wife may be having an affair with Bergman's young lieutenant. Moore, along with his partner Bobby Blane and their utility man Pinky Pincus, finds themselves in financial trouble, betrayed, and under threat. Moore is compelled to commit his crew to undertake one final major heist.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

A crew of 42+ 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

2001 · Box office

📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.8× 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).
