Synopsis

Set in a near-future world where cloning technology allows for the replication of cattle, fish, and even household pets, human cloning remains an illegal practice. This changes when family man Adam Gibson returns home from work to discover that a clone has taken his place. Removed from his family and thrust into a dark and unfamiliar world, Gibson must evade assassins determined to eliminate him in order to keep their secret hidden, while also uncovering the truth behind the sinister events unfolding in his life.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

A crew of 73+ 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.

Box Office

2000 · Box office

⚖️ Fell short of break-even — grossed 1.2× 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).
