The scale of the collaboration
A crew of 134+ credited
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 1.9× 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
$61.4M
US & Canada: $31.8M — 52% of worldwide · International: $29.6M (48%)
Opening weekend: $319K — 1% of its US run. It had legs — it kept earning long after opening weekend.
Opening week (7-day): $409K — 1% of its US & Canada run.
