“Five ordinary people needed a miracle. Then one night, Faye Riley left the window open.”
In a soon to be demolished block of apartments, the residents resist the criminal methods used to force them to leave so a greedy tycoon can build his new skyscraper. When tiny mechanical aliens land for a recharge, they decide to stay and help out.

Source: TMDB. Domestic/international split (~42/58, genre-typical) and the opening-weekend figure (28% of the domestic run, typical for Family) are MoviesRankd estimates. Profit is gross revenue minus production budget and excludes marketing — studios typically need ~2–2.5× budget to break even.
