The Purge: Anarchy
When the annual Purge erupts, waitress Eva Sanchez must shield her daughter and dying father from lawless gangs and a deadly bargain that threatens to tear her family apart.
Synopsis
Each year, the government authorizes a twelve‑hour window during which citizens may commit any crime, including murder, without legal repercussions. Sergeant Leo, whose son has died, intends to use this period for personal vengeance amid the chaos. Instead of becoming a lethal avenger, he ends up protecting four strangers who require his assistance in order to survive the night.

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 hit — grossed 12× 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).
