The World's End
A disillusioned 40‑year‑old alcoholic rallies his estranged high‑school friends for a nostalgic twelve‑pub marathon in their hometown, determined to finally finish the legendary “Golden Mile.” Their celebratory quest spirals into a deadly fight for survival when they discover the pubs are overrun by rogue androids intent on wiping out humanity.
“Good food. Fine ales. Total annihilation.”
Synopsis
Five friends reunite in an attempt to surpass their epic pub crawl from twenty years earlier, inadvertently becoming humanity.

A crew of 69+ 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 2.3× 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).
