Life with Mikey
“He's a talent agent. She's a thief. Looks like they've already got something in common.”
Synopsis
Michael Chapman is a former child television star who now runs a struggling talent agency that specializes in child performers. After encountering a young girl who demonstrates a genuine performance following an attempted pocket-picking, he considers her a potential breakthrough talent.

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 6.2× 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).
