The Creator
U.S. Army sergeant Joshua Taylor must infiltrate the AI‑embracing New Asia to expose its hidden architect and stop a lethal orbital strike, racing against a world on the brink of an all‑out war between humanity and its own creations.
“This is a fight for our very existence.”
Synopsis
In a future marked by war between humanity and artificial intelligence, a battle-hardened former special forces agent, tormented by the disappearance of his wife, is recruited to track down and eliminate the Creator, the enigmatic mastermind behind advanced AI who has devised a mysterious weapon capable of ending the war—and human civilization itself.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
A crew of 285+ 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 1.3× 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
$104.3M
US & Canada: $40.8M — 39% of worldwide · International: $63.5M (61%)
Opening weekend: $14.1M — 35% of its US run. Front-loaded — most of its money arrived opening weekend.
Opening week (7-day): $18.8M — 46% of its US & Canada run.
