Strange Days
Former black‑market dealer Lenny Nero must decode a stolen memory disc that records a prostitute’s murder before the night of 1999 ends, racing against ruthless conspirators who will kill anyone who gets too close to the truth.
“You Know You Want It.”
Synopsis
In late 1999, former police officer turned street hustler Lenny Nero receives a disc containing the memories of a prostitute’s murder. With bodyguard Mace assisting him, he begins an investigation that draws him deeper into a series of murders, blackmail, and intrigue.

A crew of 97+ 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.

📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.2× 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).
