The Bachelor
A single man learns he must be married by 6:05pm on his 30th birthday to inherit his grandfather's fortune, launching a desperate last-minute search for a wife among his ex-girlfriends.
“One thousand brides. One hundred million dollars. Jimmie Shannon is about to discover the true value of love.”
Synopsis
Jimmie is watching as his single friends gradually get married one by one. He feels increasingly left out and wonders how he can find love and avoid being the last one standing alone.

A crew of 86+ 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 0.7× 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).
