The Sorcerer's Apprentice

When teenage prodigy Dave Stutler inherits a mysterious dragon talisman from an enigmatic antique dealer, he must uncover his hidden lineage as Merlin’s heir and battle the resurrected sorceress Morgana le Fay before she unleashes a spell that will raise dead wizards to enslave humanity.

It's the coolest job ever.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

A crew of 72+ 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

⚖️ Fell short of break-even — grossed 1.4× 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).
