In Bruges
Inexperienced hitman Ray, hiding in the quiet city of Bruges after a botched job, struggles with guilt and boredom while his mentor Ken embraces the peace, until a chance encounter with a local drug dealer pulls Ray into a dangerous new world.
“Shoot first. Sightsee later.”
Synopsis
Ray and Ken, two hitmen, are in Bruges, Belgium, waiting for their next assignment. While there, they have time to reflect and discuss their previous mission. When their new task is revealed to Ken, it turns out to be different from what he expected.

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.

⚖️ Fell short of break-even — grossed 2.3× 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).
Worldwide gross
$34.5M
US & Canada: $7.8M — 23% of worldwide · International: $26.7M (77%)
Opening weekend: $460K — 6% of its US run. It had legs — it kept earning long after opening weekend.
Opening week (7-day): $612K — 8% of its US & Canada run.
