It's Kind of a Funny Story
A depressed high school student seeking refuge in a psychiatric ward unexpectedly finds healing, connection, and the courage to confront his struggles as he bonds with the people he meets there.
“Sometimes what's in your head isn't as crazy as you think.”
Synopsis
A clinically depressed teenager begins a new chapter in his life by voluntarily admitting himself to an adult psychiatric ward.

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.

📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.8× 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).
