The Brutalist
A Bauhaus-trained Holocaust survivor arrives in 1940s America with a chance to reunite his family, but must navigate deception, identity, and a dangerous web of secrets to uncover the truth behind his wife and niece's captivity in Europe.
“Welcome to America.”
Synopsis
A modern architect, seeking a fresh start after fleeing post-war Europe, arrives in Pennsylvania at the dawn of a new era in the United States. Given the chance to rebuild his professional reputation, he is joined by his wife, and together they face the challenges of a transformative project commissioned by a demanding and affluent patron, which ultimately reshapes their lives.

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.

💰 Box-office hit — grossed 5.2× 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).
Worldwide gross
