Synopsis

Alice and Jack reside in Victory, an idealized company town designed to house the employees of the top-secret Victory Project and their families. While the town initially appears to offer a perfect, self-contained life, signs of an unsettling reality begin to surface. As Alice notices cracks in the idyllic facade, she becomes increasingly concerned about the true nature of their presence in Victory and the reasons behind it.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

A crew of 52+ 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).
