Richard Jewell
Security guard Richard Jewell races to locate and defuse a deadly Olympic park bomb, only to find himself framed by an overzealous FBI and a sensationalist media that threaten his freedom and reputation.
“The world will know his name and the truth.”
Synopsis
Richard Jewell acts swiftly and effectively, saving hundreds, perhaps thousands, of lives after a domestic terrorist plants and detonates several pipe bombs during a concert. Despite his heroic actions, he is falsely suspected of the crime due to errors in FBI investigation and sensationalized reporting by the media.

A crew of 568+ 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.

📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.8× 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).
