Kids
A restless group of New York City teenagers spend a wild day chasing thrills—skating, partying, and pushing limits—only to confront the chaotic consequences of their unchecked rebellion.
“Shocking. Depraved. Sickening. And they're only Kids.”
Synopsis
A group of bored, disaffected New York City teenagers spend a day skating, smoking, drinking, partying, deflowering virgins, and getting into fights.

A crew of 89+ 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.

1995 · Box office
💰 Box-office hit — grossed 14× 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
$20.4M
US & Canada: $7.4M — 36% of worldwide · International: $13.0M (64%)
Opening weekend: $86K — 1% of its US run. It had legs — it kept earning long after opening weekend.

Every stage matters — pitch decks and treatments from development, location scouts and table-reads from pre-production, set photos and crew anecdotes from production, edit-bay notes from post, and press kits, festival memories, or marketing ephemera from distribution.
