Flatliners
A team of ambitious medical students risk death itself to prove an after‑life exists, only to find their near‑death experiments unleash terrifying forces that threaten to destroy them all.
“You haven't lived until you've died.”
Synopsis
Five medical students, seeking to uncover the mystery of what exists beyond life, conduct a risky experiment. During the procedure, their hearts are temporarily stopped, leading them to experience near-death moments.

A crew of 47+ 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 2.4× 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).
