Red Sparrow
A celebrated ballerina whose career is sabotaged must infiltrate a ruthless gangster’s inner circle using seduction and cunning, risking everything to secure life‑saving care for her ailing mother.
“Seduce. Deceive. Repeat.”
Synopsis
Dominika Egorova, a prima ballerina, confronts a bleak and uncertain future after sustaining an injury that ends her career. She joins the Sparrow School, a clandestine intelligence service that trains exceptional young individuals to use their minds and bodies as weapons. Emerging as the most dangerous Sparrow following the completion of the brutal training process, Dominika begins to come to terms with her new abilities when she meets a CIA agent who claims to be the only person she can trust.

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 2.2× 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).
