Rocky Balboa
A retired boxing legend turned restaurateur must confront his lingering grief and a fractured relationship with his son when a enigmatic visitor from his past forces him to face the ghosts that threaten his quiet life.
“It ain't over 'til it's over.”
Synopsis
When reigning heavyweight champion Mason Dixon loses a highly publicized virtual boxing match to former champion Rocky Balboa, he retaliates by challenging the Italian Stallion to a 10-round exhibition bout. To the surprise of his son and friends, Rocky agrees to come out of retirement and face an opponent who is determined to prove himself.

A crew of 74+ 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 hit — grossed 6.5× 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).
