Planet Terror
When a lethal chemical weapon mutates a rural Texas town into a swarm of zombie-like creatures, go‑go dancer Cherry Darling must survive the onslaught and find a way to halt the outbreak before it consumes everything she loves.
“Humanity's last hope… rests on a high power machine gun!”
Synopsis
Two doctors find their graveyard shift overwhelmed by townspeople suffering from severe sores. Among the injured is Cherry Darling, a dancer who has lost her leg. As the wounded rapidly turn into violent aggressors, Cherry and her ex-boyfriend El Wray lead a group of unlikely warriors into the night.

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.

📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.5× 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).
