The Time Traveler's Wife
A chronically time‑slipping librarian must race against his own unpredictable jumps through decades to win the heart of a woman whose life he’s been haunting, even as each leap threatens to erase the fragile connection they’ve finally forged.
Synopsis
Henry DeTamble, a librarian with a genetic disorder that causes involuntary time travel, repeatedly appears at different points in the life of his partner, artist Clare Abshire.

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 2.6× 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).
