The Bone Collector
Bed‑bound forensic genius Lincoln Rhyme must outwit a cunning serial killer masquerading as a taxi driver, using only his mind and the raw instincts of rookie cop Amelia Donaghy to track down victims before they vanish forever.
“Right now, this serial killer could be looking at his next victim.”

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 2.1× 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).
