A small‑time Vegas magician who can glimpse only the next two minutes must outwit relentless casino security and a determined FBI agent to use his precognitive edge against French terrorists planning a nuclear attack.
“If you can see the future, you can save it.”
Synopsis
Cris Johnson is a magician performing in Las Vegas who possesses the ability to see a few minutes into the future, a power that has become a source of torment for him. Having endured numerous examinations during his childhood and drawn the attention of both the government and medical community, he now lives under an assumed name, keeping a low profile. In Vegas, he performs inexpensive magic tricks and supports himself through small-time gambling.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 33
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.

⚖️ 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).
Worldwide gross
$76.1M
US & Canada: $18.2M — 24% of worldwide · International: $57.9M (76%)
Opening weekend: $7.1M — 39% of its US run. Front-loaded — most of its money arrived opening weekend.
Opening week (7-day): $9.1M — 50% of its US & Canada run.
