Surrogates
FBI Agent Tom Greer must track down a shadowy conspiracy behind lethal surrogate attacks before the technology that lets people live safely through remote bodies becomes a weapon capable of destroying humanity itself.
“How do you save humanity when the only thing that's real is you?”
Synopsis
Set in a futuristic world where humans live in isolation and interact through surrogate robots, a cop is forced to leave his home for the first time in years in order to investigate the murders of others.

The scale of the collaboration
A crew of 360+ 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).
Worldwide gross
$122.4M
US & Canada: $38.6M — 32% of worldwide · International: $83.9M (68%)
Opening weekend: $14.9M — 39% of its US run. Front-loaded — most of its money arrived opening weekend.
Opening week (7-day): $19.0M — 49% of its US & Canada run.
