Failure to Launch
A directionless thirty‑something must finally leave his parents’ home, but when they hire a quirky interventionist to force him into adulthood, his quest for independence spirals into comedic chaos.
“To leave the nest, some men just need a little push.”
Synopsis
A thirty-something man continues to live with his parents until they enlist an interventionist to help him move out of the house. That's when the challenges begin.

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.

✅ Made its money back — grossed 2.6× 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).
