Greenberg
A directionless carpenter journeys to Los Angeles for a house‑sitting gig, only to become stranded and forced to confront his stagnant life, where an unexpected bond with his brother’s assistant offers him a chance at purpose and happiness.
“He's got a lot on his mind.”
Synopsis
Roger Greenberg is a failed musician who now works as a carpenter in New York. He travels to Los Angeles to house-sit for his brother. Unable to drive, he becomes stranded until his brother's assistant, Florence, arrives to help. Both are similarly adrift in life, and they develop a meaningful bond, which gives Roger a renewed sense of purpose and happiness.

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.

📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.3× 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).
