A crew of 137+ 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
2010 · Box office
💰 Box-office hit — grossed 34× 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
$43.1M
US & Canada: $528K — 1% of worldwide · International: $42.5M (99%)
Opening weekend: $36K — 7% of its US run. It had legs — it kept earning long after opening weekend.
Opening week (7-day): $51K — 10% of its US & Canada run.
