Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret.
An earnest eleven‑year‑old uprooted from New York must navigate a new town, school cliques and the bewildering tides of puberty while desperately trying to make friends and discover who she’s becoming.
“Discovering who you are is a journey that lasts a lifetime.”
Synopsis
An 11-year-old girl moves with her family from New York City to New Jersey and experiences the challenges of making new friends, dealing with emotions, and beginning adolescence.

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.

📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.7× 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).
