Synopsis

Robert Neville is a scientist who failed to prevent the spread of a deadly, incurable, man-made virus. Immune to the disease, Neville is now the last human survivor in the remains of New York City and possibly the world. For three years, Neville has consistently sent out daily radio messages, hoping to locate other survivors. However, he is not truly alone.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

A crew of 78+ 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.

Box Office

2007 · Box office

✅ Made its money back — grossed 3.9× 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).
