Bio-Dome
Two clueless best friends must navigate a year‑long, sealed ecosystem when they’re mistakenly locked inside a high‑tech Bio‑Dome alongside eccentric scientists, forcing them to survive the absurd challenges of self‑sustaining life before the experiment—and their sanity—run out.
“Bud and Doyle are here to save the world. But who's gonna save the world from Bud and Doyle?”
Synopsis
Two well-meaning but clueless best friends accidentally become participants in a scientific experiment by getting locked inside the Bio-Dome, a sealed environment designed to simulate an enclosed ecosystem. They are joined by a group of environmental scientists for the duration of the one-year experiment.

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 1.6× 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).
