Vampires
A covert band of church‑backed vampire hunters must race against a ruthless coven seeking an ancient relic that would let the undead walk in daylight, or risk plunging humanity into eternal night.
“Prepare for the dawn.”
Synopsis
A group of vampires, seeking an ancient relic that would enable them to exist in sunlight, is pursued and targeted for destruction by a team of vampire-hunters enlisted by the church.

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.

⚖️ Fell short of break-even — grossed 1.0× 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).
