Synopsis

In 2016, Tom Riley purchased a home at a Sheriff's Sale and experienced a series of unsettling horror events that were captured on 21 security cameras installed in the house. The documentary *Bad Ben - The Mandela Effect* compiles this footage, suggesting that the paranormal experiences Tom encountered appeared to repeat across multiple instances, potentially occurring in parallel universes.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 1

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.

Box Office

💰 Box-office hit — grossed 367× 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).
