Swingers
A lovelorn aspiring actor moves to Los Angeles hoping fame will fill his broken heart, but as he flounders, his charismatic friends thrust him into the city's wild swing‑scene, forcing him to confront his insecurities and decide whether success or self‑acceptance matters more.
“Cocktails first. Questions later.”
Synopsis
After six years together, Mike's girlfriend leaves him, prompting him to move to Los Angeles in hopes of becoming a star. Six months later, he's still struggling to find success, so a few of his friends attempt to reintroduce him to the social scene in an effort to help him move on from his failed relationship.

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 hit — grossed 23× 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).
