Scream 4
When famed survivor Sidney Prescott returns to Woodsboro to promote her self‑help book, she quickly becomes the prime suspect in a fresh wave of Ghostface killings and must outwit the relentless murderer while proving her innocence before the town’s dark past claims more victims.
“New decade. New rules.”
Synopsis

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 2.4× 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).
