Hereafter
A grieving American factory worker, a French journalist scarred by a tsunami near‑death experience, and a London schoolboy who can sense the dead each grapple with their newfound ability, forcing them to choose between embracing the gift or losing everything they love.
“Touched by death. Changed by life.”
Synopsis
Three individuals—a blue-collar American, a French journalist, and a London schoolboy—each experience death in distinct ways.

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 2.1× 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).
Worldwide gross
$107.0M
US & Canada: $32.7M — 31% of worldwide · International: $74.3M (69%)
Opening weekend: $220K — 1% of its US run. It had legs — it kept earning long after opening weekend.
Opening week (7-day): $315K — 1% of its US & Canada run.
