Synopsis

When best friends Rick and Fred start showing signs of restlessness at home, their wives decide to take a bold step to revive their marriages by giving them a "hall pass"—a week of freedom to do as they please. Initially, it seems like a dream come true, but they soon find that their expectations of the single life—and of themselves—are completely and hilariously out of sync with reality.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

A crew of 319+ 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 2.3× 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).
