The Covenant
U.S. Army Special Forces sergeant John Kinley must complete a high‑stakes Afghan operation while learning to trust Ahmed, a disgraced ex‑Taliban interpreter whose loyalty could mean the difference between his team’s survival and a deadly enemy ambush.
“A bond. A pledge. A commitment.”
Synopsis
After an ambush, Afghan interpreter Ahmed goes to great lengths to save the life of U.S. Army Sergeant John Kinley. When Kinley later discovers that Ahmed and his family were not granted the safe passage to America that had been promised, he returns to the war zone to fulfill his debt of gratitude.

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.

📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.4× 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).
