That's My Boy
A washed‑up former celebrity father races against time to stage a televised reunion with his estranged adult son, hoping the spectacle will raise enough cash to keep him out of jail.
“The story of a child… and his son.”
Synopsis
While in his teens, Donny fathered a son named Todd and raised him as a single parent until Todd's adolescence.

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 0.8× 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).
