Violent Night
When a jaded Santa planning his final holiday decides to protect a hostage‑filled Connecticut mansion from a ruthless band of holiday‑themed mercenaries, he must battle his own disillusionment and save the family before Christmas—and his retirement—are forever ruined.
“You better watch out.”
Synopsis
On Christmas Eve, a group of mercenaries infiltrates a wealthy family's compound and takes everyone inside hostage. Unprepared for an unexpected challenge, they encounter Santa Claus on the grounds, who proceeds to demonstrate that this particular Santa is far from a saint.

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.

✅ Made its money back — grossed 3.8× 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).
