The Craft
A newly‑moved teenager with latent telekinetic powers must decide whether to join a trio of outcast girls seeking the “fourth” element for their dark ritual, even as she’s torn between ordinary high school life and a growing supernatural threat.
“Welcome to the witching hour.”
Synopsis
A new student at a Catholic school becomes involved with a group of teenage witches who use their powers against anyone who opposes them, including teachers, rivals and intrusive parents.

The scale of the collaboration
A crew of 45+ 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 1.7× 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).
