Synopsis

The modern world harbors many secrets, among them the existence of witches who continue to live in secrecy. These supernatural beings are described as vicious and intent on unleashing the Black Death to eradicate the human race. For centuries, armies of witch hunters have fought against these creatures, including Kaulder, a warrior who, many years ago, defeated the powerful Witch Queen, significantly weakening her followers. Before her death, the Queen cursed Kaulder with immortality, separating him from his wife and daughter. Now the last living hunter, Kaulder has spent his immortal life pursuing rogue witches, while longing for his lost family.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

A crew of 387+ 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.

Box Office

2015 · Box office

⚖️ Fell short of break-even — grossed 1.6× 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).
