Synopsis

Detectives Jimmy and Paul, who have worked as partners for nine years, often appear to be complete opposites, particularly when Paul's erratic behavior leads to their suspension without pay. Facing financial strain and needing to cover the cost of his daughter's wedding, Jimmy decides to sell a rare baseball card valued in the tens of thousands. When the collector's shop is robbed and the card is stolen, Jimmy and Paul take matters into their own hands, pursuing the card and the drug ring responsible for the theft on their own time and without official support—relying solely on each other.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

A crew of 48+ 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).
