The Roommate
College freshman Sara moves into a glamorous LA dorm hoping to belong, only to discover her charismatic roommate’s obsessive fixation threatens her safety and sanity. She must outwit the escalating obsession before it destroys her new life.
“2,000 colleges. 8 million roommates. Which one will you get?”
Synopsis
Sara, a young design student from Iowa, arrives in Los Angeles to begin college, eager to fit in and explore the city. Her wealthy roommate, Rebecca, is quick to take Sara under her wing and introduce her to the social scene. The two develop a close relationship, but as Sara starts to form friendships with others on campus, Rebecca grows resentful. Concerned by Rebecca's reaction, Sara moves in with her new boyfriend, which leads to a dramatic and violent shift in Rebecca's behavior.

A crew of 46+ 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.

✅ Made its money back — grossed 3.3× 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).
