Hitchcock
Alfred Hitchcock risks his reputation and personal fortune to bring his daring vision for *Psycho* to life, battling a skeptical studio and mounting tension with his wife as the film’s groundbreaking horror threatens to unravel both his career and marriage.
“Behind every Psycho is a great woman.”
Synopsis
After the success of *North by Northwest*, director Alfred Hitchcock selects Robert Bloch's novel *Psycho* as the basis for his next film. When the studio declines to finance the project, Hitchcock commits to funding it personally in return for a share of the profits. Although his wife, Alma Reville, expresses concerns about the film, she ultimately supports him, even as the production puts a strain on their marriage.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
A crew of 282+ 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 1.7× 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
$27.0M
US & Canada: $6.0M — 22% of worldwide · International: $21.0M (78%)
Opening weekend: $288K — 5% of its US run. It had legs — it kept earning long after opening weekend.
Opening week (7-day): $379K — 6% of its US & Canada run.

Every stage matters — pitch decks and treatments from development, location scouts and table-reads from pre-production, set photos and crew anecdotes from production, edit-bay notes from post, and press kits, festival memories, or marketing ephemera from distribution.
