Priest

A battle‑scarred priest of the Church’s elite anti‑vampire order must rescue his dying brother while confronting a rogue vampire clan that threatens to ignite a new war, all as he navigates a lawless frontier town that despises the very institution that trained him.

The war is eternal. His mission is just the beginning.

Synopsis

In an alternate world, humanity and vampires have been at war for centuries. Following the conclusion of the last Vampire War, a veteran Warrior Priest lives in obscurity alongside other humans within one of the Church's walled cities. When the Priest's niece is kidnapped by vampires, he breaks his vows and sets out to hunt them. He is joined by the niece's boyfriend, a sheriff from the wastelands, and a former Warrior Priestess.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

A crew of 47+ 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.

Box Office

2011 · Box office

⚖️ Fell short of break-even — grossed 1.4× 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).
