Where the Crawdads Sing
A young woman raised alone in a North Carolina swamp becomes the prime suspect in a murder case, forcing a retired lawyer to uncover the truth before the town's prejudice and silence bury her alive.
“Secrets are buried just beneath the surface.”
Synopsis
Kya is abandoned by her family and grows up alone in the marshes near her small town. After her former boyfriend is discovered dead, she is quickly labeled as the prime suspect by the townspeople and local law enforcement.

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 6.0× 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).
