Weird Science
Two socially awkward teens conjure a stunning, magical woman from their computer, and she thrusts them into wild challenges that force them to confront high school bullies and discover their own confidence.
“It's all in the name of science...Weird Science.”
Synopsis
Gary and Wyatt are two unpopular teenagers who struggle with social acceptance. Their repeated failures to fit in with their peers drive them to use their computer to "create" a woman. The result is Lisa, a living and breathing woman who is physically attractive. Lisa's role is to help Gary and Wyatt gain confidence by placing them in situations that require them to act like men.

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.

💰 Box-office hit — grossed 5.2× 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).
