Safe
A brilliant teenage math prodigy kidnapped by a Chinese triad must outwit ruthless Russian mobsters and corrupt police to protect a deadly code that could erase their criminal empire forever.
“She has the code. He is the key.”
Synopsis
After a former elite agent rescues a 12-year-old Chinese girl who is caught in the middle of an international conspiracy, he must protect her from a powerful criminal organization determined to silence her. As they flee across Southeast Asia, the agent uncovers a web of corruption that reaches high into the government, forcing him to confront his past and decide where his true loyalties lie.

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).
