After Hours
An uptown office drone's casual downtown fling spirals into a surreal, nightmarish odyssey through the twisted underbelly of 1980s New York.
“When it's after midnight in New York City, you don't have to look for love, laughter and trouble. They'll all find you!”
Synopsis
Paul Hackett, an office worker in uptown Manhattan, is desperate to escape his monotonous routine and heads downtown for a rendezvous with a mysterious woman.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 40
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
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.

⚖️ Fell short of break-even — grossed 2.4× 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).
Worldwide gross
$10.6M
Opening weekend: $91K — 1% of its US run. It had legs — it kept earning long after opening weekend.
Opening week (7-day): $91K — 1% of its US & Canada run.
