The Replacements

Veteran coach Jimmy McGinty must rally a ragtag squad of replacement players into a winning team before the league’s strike ends, battling skeptical owners, media ridicule, and his own unorthodox methods to prove that heart can beat analytics.

“Throw the ball. Catch the girl. Keep it simple.”

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

A crew of 288+ 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 1.0× 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).
