Fever Pitch
A devoted Red Sox fan tries to win the heart of a career‑driven businesswoman, only to have his season‑long obsession threaten their budding romance.
“A comedy about the game of love.”
Synopsis
Ben Wrightman, a young teacher, begins a romantic relationship with Lindsey Meeks, a successful businesswoman. Although they share few common interests, they fall in love. Their relationship progresses smoothly until baseball season begins, at which point Lindsey becomes aware of Ben's intense obsession with the Boston Red Sox. While she makes an effort to understand his deep loyalty to the team, his passion ultimately begins to strain their otherwise happy relationship.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
A crew of 119+ 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 1.7× 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).
