Synopsis

A young and dedicated morning television producer is hired as an executive producer for a long-running morning show at a once-prominent but now struggling station in New York City. Determined to keep the show on air, she brings on board a former news journalist and anchor, who is reluctant to co-host a program that does not focus on real news.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

A crew of 284+ 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.

⚖️ Fell short of break-even — grossed 1.5× 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).
