The Astronaut's Wife
A pregnant astronaut’s wife races to expose her husband’s terrifying transformation before their unborn child becomes the next victim of an otherworldly conspiracy.
“How well do you know the one you love?”
Synopsis
Astronaut Spencer Armacost returns to Earth after a mission that nearly cost him his life and decides to take a desk job to spend more time with his wife, Jillian. Over time, Jillian begins to notice a change in Spencer's personality, though her concerns are momentarily eased when she discovers she is pregnant. As her pregnancy progresses, her suspicions about Spencer resurface. Why does he seem like a different person?

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 0.3× 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).
