The Back-Up Plan
A career‑driven woman hires a fertility clinic to become a single mom on her own terms, only to meet a charming stranger who forces her to rethink love and parenthood before the due date.
“Fall in love, get married, have a baby. Not necessarily in that order.”
Synopsis
When Zoe grows tired of searching for Mr. Right, she decides to have a baby on her own. However, on the day she is set to proceed, she meets a man who changes her plans.

A crew of 82+ 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.

⚖️ Fell short of break-even — grossed 2.2× 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).
