American Wedding
A nervous groom-to-be must juggle a disastrous public proposal, an unruly ex‑party crasher, and a chaotic quest for the perfect wedding dress, all while keeping his fiancée from walking away.
“Forever hold your piece.”
Synopsis
With high school a distant memory, Jim and Michelle are getting married — and in a hurry, since Jim is about to be deployed overseas.

A crew of 348+ 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.

💰 Box-office hit — grossed 4.2× 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).
