So I Married an Axe Murderer
Commitment-phobic Charlie falls for charming butcher Harriet, but must prove she isn’t a notorious serial killer before his obsessive parents turn love into a deadly nightmare.
“The honeymoon was killer.”
Synopsis
Just after a bad breakup, Charlie MacKenzie falls for Harriet Michaels, a lovely butcher, and introduces her to his parents. However, as voracious consumers of sensational tabloids, his parents soon come to suspect that Harriet is actually a notorious serial killer.

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.

📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.6× 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).
