A Ghost Story
A newly deceased husband returns as a translucent specter, determined to soothe his mourning wife, only to find himself trapped in an endless loop where time collapses and the world he loved slips away.
“It's all about time.”
Synopsis
A white-sheeted ghost, recently deceased, returns to his suburban home to comfort his grieving wife, only to discover that in his spectral form, he is unstuck in time, compelled to observe helplessly as the life he once knew and the woman he loves gradually fade away.

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 19× 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).
