Synopsis

Henry is a skilled player at seducing women. However, when this veterinarian meets Lucy, a woman with a unique issue involving total recall, he discovers the possibility of falling in love repeatedly—again and again. This is because Lucy lacks short-term memory, requiring Henry to woo her day after day until he ultimately wins her heart.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

A crew of 71+ 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

2004 · Box office

Made its money back — grossed 2.6× 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).
