Synopsis
Tintin, an intrepid young reporter, and his loyal dog, Snowy, find themselves in a world of high adventure after discovering a ship carrying an explosive secret. As Tintin becomes entangled in a centuries-old mystery, Ivan Ivanovitch Sakharine accuses him of stealing a priceless treasure. Accompanied by the gruff and salty Captain Haddock and the bumbling detectives Thompson and Thomson, Tintin and Snowy journey across the globe, staying one step ahead of their enemies. Their quest leads them in search of the Unicorn, a sunken ship that may contain a vast fortune—and an ancient curse.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
A crew of 249+ 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.

✅ Made its money back — grossed 2.9× 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).
