Hollow Man
A brilliant but arrogant scientist becomes the first invisible man, but as his power spirals out of control, he must confront the dangerous consequences of his obsession before his invisibility turns lethal.
“Think you’re alone? Think again.”
Synopsis
Cocky researcher Sebastian Caine is working on a project to make living creatures invisible. Determined to achieve the ultimate breakthrough, Caine pushes his team to move to the next phase—using himself as the subject. The test is a success, but when the process goes awry, Caine finds himself trapped in a world where he is unseen and must navigate the dangers of being invisible.

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 2.0× 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).
