Collateral Beauty
A grieving widower writes letters to Love, Time and Death hoping for answers, only to confront his own denial and discover that the very forces he questions hold the key to healing his shattered life.
“We are all connected”
Synopsis
After a tragedy causes him to withdraw from life, a man questions the universe by writing letters to Love, Time and Death. He receives unexpected answers that lead him to recognize how these concepts interconnect and how even loss can reveal moments of meaning and beauty.

A crew of 264+ 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 2.5× 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).
