Synopsis

After suffering a severe attack that left him with no memory, Mark Hogancamp was not expected to recover. Reconstructing fragments of his past and present, he carefully built a remarkable town called Marwen, a place where he could heal and reclaim a sense of heroism. As he developed an extraordinary art installation—dedicated to the most powerful women in his life—his fantasy world became a source of strength, helping him overcome challenges in reality.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 22

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

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

2018 · Box office

📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.3× 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).
