Take Me Home Tonight
A recent MIT graduate stuck working in a video store must seize one chaotic night at an epic ‘80s‑style party to win back his high‑school crush and choose between a corporate career or the life he truly wants.
“Best. Night. Ever.”
Synopsis
Matt Franklin, a recent MIT graduate poised for a career at a Fortune 500 company, chooses instead to work at a video store. His perspective shifts when his former high‑school crush, Tori, enters the store and asks him to attend an end‑of‑summer party. With assistance from his twin sister and his best friend, Matt devises a plan to alter the direction of his life.

A crew of 42+ 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 0.4× 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).
