Synopsis

Ally Darling is feeling directionless after her recent breakup and being let go from her marketing job. She comes across a magazine article that claims 96 percent of women who have had 20 or more lovers are unlikely to find a husband. Inspired to challenge this statistic, Ally decides to take action by revisiting her past relationships in hopes of finding the right partner among her many ex-boyfriends.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

A crew of 319+ 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 1.5× 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).
