The Cobbler
A disillusioned New York cobbler discovers a magical heirloom that lets him literally walk in his customers’ shoes and live their lives, but as he becomes consumed by assuming their identities, he must decide whether to escape his own reality or protect the people whose footsteps he’s taken.
“Saving the neighborhood one sole at a time.”
Synopsis
Max Simkin repairs shoes in a New York shop that has been owned by his family for generations. Disenchanted with the routine of daily life, he discovers a magical heirloom that lets him step into his customers’ lives and view the world from their perspective, occasionally walking in another man’s shoes.

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).
