Bad Genius
A brilliant student turns her tutoring skills into a high‑stakes cheating syndicate, forcing her to outwit teachers, rivals and the law while risking everything for the perfect score.
“Genius students with one mission... Turning exam answers into millions.”
Synopsis
Lynn, an academically gifted student, begins assisting her friends in achieving the grades they require. This leads her to conceive the idea of expanding the endeavor into a larger exam-cheating operation.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 21
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 hit — grossed 23× 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).
