Midnight Sun
A light‑sensitive teenager desperate to experience true love must risk her fragile health by stepping into daylight for one unforgettable summer romance.
“Love will light the way.”
Synopsis
Katie, a 17-year-old girl, has spent her life largely confined to her home due to a rare illness that renders even minimal exposure to sunlight life-threatening. Her sheltered existence takes an unexpected turn when she meets Charlie, and the two begin a romantic relationship during the summer.

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 9.8× 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).
