Red State
A group of thrill‑seeking teens answer an online ad for a wild hookup, only to discover they’ve been lured into a fanatical Christian compound where a charismatic pastor plans to turn their night of pleasure into a deadly sacrifice.
“Fear God.”
Synopsis
Set in Middle America, a group of teenagers receives an online invitation for a sexual encounter, only to discover that they are drawn into a dangerous situation involving Christian fundamentalists with a far more sinister purpose.

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 0.3× 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).
