Speed 2: Cruise Control
A vacationing cop and his fiancée must wrest control of a hijacked luxury liner before the deranged terrorist steers it into an oil tanker, endangering everyone on board and triggering an ecological disaster.
“Rush hour hits the water.”
Synopsis
A disgruntled former employee hijacks the *Seabourn Legend* cruise liner. Set on a fixed course, without any means of communication and at the mercy of the hijacker, it's up to the one cop on vacation and his soon-to-be fiancé, Annie, to regain control of it before it kills the passengers and causes an environmental disaster. Insurmountable and daunting tasks await them on their perilous journey throughout the ship, trying to fend off the hijacker and save the passengers.

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 1.0× 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).
