Eighth Grade
A socially anxious teen fights to survive her final week of middle school and earn acceptance, turning to vlog videos as a coping shield—only to discover that confronting her own insecurities is the only way to truly connect before stepping into high school.
“Based on the most awkward year of your life.”
Synopsis
Thirteen-year-old Kayla navigates the challenges of contemporary suburban adolescence during the final week of middle school, marking the close of what has been a difficult eighth-grade year for her before she transitions to high school.

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.

💰 Box-office hit — grossed 6.8× 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).
