Synopsis

When her scientist ex-boyfriend discovers a portal that allows time travel and brings back a 19th-century nobleman named Leopold to prove its existence, skeptical Kate is reluctantly tasked with showing Leopold around the 21st century. As Kate spends more time with Leopold, she finds herself increasingly drawn to him. However, if Leopold does not return to his own time, his absence could have lasting consequences on history.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

A crew of 258+ 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

2001 · Box office

⚖️ Fell short of break-even — grossed 1.6× 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).
