Don't Look Up
A brilliant but overlooked astronomer races to convince a dismissive world that a deadly comet is on a collision course with Earth, forcing her to navigate political indifference, media chaos, and her own rising fame to save humanity.
“Based on truly possible events.”
Synopsis
Two astronomers embark on a media tour to alert humanity about a massive comet on a collision course with Earth. The reaction from a preoccupied world is indifference.

A crew of 464+ 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.

📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.0× 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).
