Space Jam
When a scheming alien mogul kidnaps the Looney Tunes to boost his failing space amusement park, Bugs Bunny rallies the gang into an intergalactic basketball showdown that could free them—or doom the universe to endless exploitation.
“Get ready to jam.”
Synopsis
With their freedom at stake, the Looney Tunes enlist the help of NBA superstar Michael Jordan to defeat a team of foolish aliens in a basketball game.

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.

✅ Made its money back — grossed 3.1× 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).
