A Midsummer Night's Dream
A headstrong young woman fights a draconian marriage decree to elope with her true love, only to have mischievous fairy royalty turn the forest into a chaotic battlefield of shifting loyalties and enchanted mishaps.
“Love makes fools of us all.”
Synopsis
Hermia is betrothed to Demetrius, though her true affection lies with Lysander. Helena, Hermia's friend, is in love with Demetrius, and as the group retreats to the woods, their romantic entanglements become further complicated. The fairy rulers Titania and Oberon, who are married, also become involved, playing tricks on the mortals and each other.

The scale of the collaboration
A crew of 278+ 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).
