The Many Saints of Newark
A teenage Anthony Soprano strives to survive the violent 1967 Newark riots and a brewing gang war, hoping to prove himself under the sway of his charismatic uncle Dickie—only to find that loyalty and ambition collide in a deadly quest for power.
“Who made Tony Soprano?”
Synopsis
Young Anthony Soprano comes of age during one of the most turbulent periods in Newark, N.J., history, transitioning into adulthood as rival gangsters begin to emerge and challenge the dominance of the powerful DiMeo crime family. Amid these shifting dynamics is Dickie Moltisanti, the uncle Anthony idolizes, whose influence on the impressionable teenager plays a key role in shaping him into the formidable mob boss, Tony Soprano.

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.

📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.3× 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).
