Man on a Ledge
When a desperate man threatens to jump from a hotel roof, a haunted crisis negotiator must race against time to convince him he's not alone—and expose a powerful businessman’s deadly conspiracy before both their lives fall forever.
“You can only push an innocent man so far”
Synopsis
A former police officer turned criminal stands on the rooftop of a Manhattan hotel, threatening to jump. The NYPD sends a female police psychologist to intervene and de-escalate the situation. Unaware to the officers present, the apparent suicide attempt is actually a diversion for what becomes the largest diamond heist in history.

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 1.1× 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).
