Synopsis

After an unfulfilling New Year's party, Tim's father discloses that the men in their family possess the ability to travel through time. While they are unable to alter history, they can influence events in their own lives, both past and present. This revelation marks the beginning of a journey that teaches Tim to value life as it is, to embrace its moments, and to cherish the people who share it with him.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

A crew of 488+ 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

2013 · Box office

💰 Box-office hit — grossed 7.3× 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).
