The Fox and the Child
Synopsis
A young girl of about ten lives in a solitary peasant’s house on the edge of the Jurassic Mountains in eastern France. One autumn day, while walking to school through the forest, she observes a hunting fox. The fox flees from her, but the girl feels a strong desire to meet the fox again.

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 2.3× 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).
