Ronin
A disillusioned IRA operative assembles a ragtag team of ex-military mercenaries to steal a mysterious, high-stakes briefcase from a heavily armed convoy—before the Russian mafia can claim it.
“Anyone is an enemy for a price.”
Synopsis
A briefcase containing undisclosed contents becomes the target of both Irish terrorists and the Russian mob as it falls into the hands of criminals. An Irish liaison forms a team of mercenaries, referred to as 'ronin,' and assigns them the difficult mission of retrieving the case.

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 1.3× 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).
