The Count of Monte Cristo
Wrongfully imprisoned on his wedding day, Edmond Dantès escapes a deadly island prison, discovers a fortune and becomes the enigmatic Count of Monte Cristo to exact ruthless vengeance on the three men who betrayed him, risking everything in a high‑stakes battle of wits and blood.
“This is not vengeance, this is justice.”
Synopsis
Edmond Dantès is wrongfully arrested on his wedding day and imprisoned for a crime he did not commit. He spends 14 years in the Château d’If, an island prison, before escaping in a daring breakout. Upon his release, he discovers a treasure that makes him extremely wealthy. Adopting the identity of the Count of Monte-Cristo, he meticulously plans and carries out his revenge against the three men responsible for his betrayal.

A crew of 49+ 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.

⚖️ Fell short of break-even — grossed 1.6× 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

US & Canada: $530K — 1% of worldwide · International: $74.8M (99%)
Opening weekend: $17K — 3% of its US run. It had legs — it kept earning long after opening weekend.
