The Darkest Minds
A teenage girl with dangerous new abilities escapes a brutal government internment camp and teams up with fellow outcasts to outrun relentless forces determined to control their powers.
“The ones who changed will change everything.”
Synopsis
In the aftermath of a mysterious disease that claims the lives of 98% of children in America, the remaining 2% of survivors develop superhuman abilities and are subsequently placed in government-run internment camps. A 16-year-old girl flees her camp and joins a group of other teenagers who are also evading capture by the authorities.

A crew of 65+ 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 1.2× 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).
