Synopsis

Jake Green is a confident, though reckless, gambler who is often excluded from casinos due to his consistent success at winning money. Over the years, he has accumulated so much wealth that his elder brother, Billy, who works as an accountant, serves as his sole client. When Jake is invited to a private game, he finds himself in a dangerous situation where he fears for his life.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

A crew of 56+ 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.

Box Office

2005 · Box office

📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.3× 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).
