Jungle 2 Jungle
A high‑strung New York exec discovers he has a teenage son raised in the Amazon and must navigate the clash of corporate life and jungle instincts while trying to bond with his unexpected heir before their worlds tear them apart.
“The big city is about to get a little savage.”
Synopsis
Michael Cromwell, a high-strung New York City executive, travels to South America to confront his soon-to-be ex-wife and ends up returning home with a son he never knew existed—a 13-year-old boy named Mimi-Siku, who was raised in a tribal village in Brazil. Unfamiliar with the outside world, Mimi-Siku uses only his blowgun as he navigates the complexities of life beyond the jungle.

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 1.9× 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).
