Around the World in 80 Days

Phileas Fogg wagers he can circle the globe in just eighty days, racing against time, treacherous terrain and relentless foes who will stop at nothing to see his daring bet fail.

It's a wonderful world, if you'll only take the time to go around it!

Synopsis

Based on the famous book by Jules Verne, the movie follows Phileas Fogg on his journey around the world, which has to be completed within 80 days, a very short period for those days.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 27

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

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

1956 · Box office

💰 Box-office hit — grossed 7.0× 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).
