Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief
Teen demigod Percy Jackson must recover Zeus’s stolen lightning bolt before midnight on the Summer Solstice or trigger a war among the gods, while battling mythic monsters and his own dyslexia‑ADHD challenges.
“Worlds collide.”
Synopsis
Percy, an accident-prone teenager, learns that he is a demi-god and the son of Poseidon. When Zeus's lightning is stolen, Percy is called upon to use his newfound abilities to stop a potential war among the gods that could destroy the world.

The scale of the collaboration
A crew of 111+ 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).
