The Purge: Election Year
A grieving survivor turned presidential candidate must survive a night when the Purge’s blanket immunity is revoked for officials, forcing her to hide among ordinary citizens while fighting a ruthless political faction determined to silence her forever.
“Keep America great”
Synopsis
Two years after deciding not to kill his son’s murderer, former police sergeant Leo Barnes becomes head of security for Senator Charlene Roan, who leads the upcoming presidential race on a platform promising to end the Purge. On the night of what is intended to be the final Purge, an internal government betrayal forces Barnes and Roan onto the streets, where they must fight to survive the night.

The scale of the collaboration
A crew of 79+ 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 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).
