Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy
A cocky 1970s news anchor must outwit rival reporters and his own ego when a fierce new female co‑anchor threatens to upend his reign as San Diego’s top‑rated broadcaster.
“They bring you the news so you don't have to get it yourself.”

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
A crew of 61+ 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.

✅ Made its money back — grossed 3.5× 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).
