Synopsis

Tree Collegian, a college student, awakens to a shocking realization—she has been thrust into a parallel universe. In this new reality, her boyfriend Carter is no longer with her but with someone else, and her friends and classmates appear as entirely different versions of themselves. Tree soon uncovers the truth: Carter's roommate has been tampering with time. As a result, Tree becomes the target of a masked killer. When the killer begins to pursue her close circle, Tree realizes she must repeatedly face death to save them all.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 34

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

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.

Box Office

2019 · Box office

💰 Box-office hit — grossed 7.2× 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).
