Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile
A shy New York kid discovers a singing crocodile living in his attic and must rally his family to keep their unlikely friend safe from a scheming neighbor who wants him gone.
“He knows every scale.”
Synopsis
When the Primm family relocates to New York City, their son Josh has difficulty adjusting to his new school and making friends. His routine changes after he discovers Lyle, a singing crocodile who enjoys baths, caviar and music, living in the attic of their new house. When the neighbor Mr. Grumps threatens Lyle’s existence, the Primms unite to demonstrate that family can arise from unexpected sources.

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 2.2× 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).
