Synopsis

Boog, a 900-pound domesticated grizzly bear, becomes stranded in the woods three days before the start of Open Season. With little choice, he turns to Elliot, a quick-witted mule deer, for help. The two develop an unexpected bond and must swiftly gather other forest animals to create a makeshift team capable of standing up to the approaching hunters.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

A crew of 607+ 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.

⚖️ Fell short of break-even — grossed 2.4× 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).
