Synopsis

When their ship crash-lands on a remote planet, the marooned passengers soon discover that escaped convict Riddick is not the only threat they face. Deadly creatures prowl in the shadows, attacking when the light fades, and the planet is quickly descending into the complete darkness of a total eclipse. As the body count rises, the doomed survivors are forced to rely on Riddick, with his eerie eyes, to lead them through the darkness toward safety. With time running out, there is only one rule: Stay in the light.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 26

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

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.

Box Office

2000 · Box office

⚖️ 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).
