The One
When LASD deputy Gabe Law discovers a murderous parallel‑self who’s hunting his own variants to become an all‑powerful “One,” he must team up with a mysterious multiverse agent to stop the rogue before every reality is destroyed.
“Stealing the power of the universes one by one.”
Synopsis
A sheriff's deputy confronts an alternate universe version of himself, in which the antagonist grows stronger with each alternate self that is killed.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
A crew of 229+ 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 1.5× 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
$72.7M
US & Canada: $43.9M — 60% of worldwide · International: $28.8M (40%)
Opening weekend: $19.1M — 44% of its US run. Front-loaded — most of its money arrived opening weekend.
Opening week (7-day): $22.8M — 52% of its US & Canada run.
