Late Night
A celebrated late‑night talk‑show host hires her first female staff writer to save her aging program, but their clashing cultures and generations spark a battle of wits that threatens both the show’s future and their fragile partnership.
“They're giving comedy a rewrite.”
Synopsis
A renowned late-night talk show host's life is disrupted when she brings on board her first female staff writer. Initially aimed at addressing diversity concerns, the decision leads to unforeseen and humorous outcomes as the two women, divided by cultural and generational differences, find common ground in their shared passion for sharp, witty humor.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 23
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
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 hit — grossed 5.6× 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).
Worldwide gross
$22.4M
US & Canada: $15.5M — 69% of worldwide · International: $6.9M (31%)
Opening weekend: $246K — 2% of its US run. It had legs — it kept earning long after opening weekend.
Opening week (7-day): $313K — 2% of its US & Canada run.
