Son of Saul
Saul, a Jewish prisoner compelled to cremate corpses in Auschwitz, risks everything to clandestinely rescue and give a proper burial to a boy he believes is his son, fighting both ruthless guards and the overwhelming terror of the death camp.
Synopsis
In the horror of 1944 Auschwitz, a prisoner forced to burn the corpses of his own people finds moral survival by trying to save from the flames the body of a boy he takes for his son, seeking to give him a proper Jewish burial.

A crew of 102+ 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.

⚖️ Fell short of break-even — grossed 1.8× 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).
