The Guilt Trip
An earnest inventor hits the road to pitch his breakthrough cleaning product, dragging his meddlesome mother along for a cross‑country sales sprint; as old family secrets surface, their clashing personalities threaten both the deal and their fragile bond.
“Get ready for one mother of a road trip.”

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 1.0× 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).
Worldwide gross
$41.9M
US & Canada: $37.1M — 89% of worldwide · International: $4.7M (11%)
Opening weekend: $2.0M — 5% of its US run. It had legs — it kept earning long after opening weekend.
Opening week (7-day): $2.0M — 5% of its US & Canada run.
