Beerfest
A ragtag crew of brothers travels to Germany to fulfill their late grandfather’s final wish, only to be thrust into a high‑stakes underground beer‑drinking tournament that could ruin their lives or make them legends.
“Prepare for the ultimate chug of war.”
Synopsis
During a trip to Germany to scatter their grandfather's ashes, the group members found themselves drawn into a series of unexpected events that would change their lives forever.

The scale of the collaboration
A crew of 275+ 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 1.1× 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).
Worldwide gross
$19.2M
Opening weekend: $7.0M — 37% of its US run. Front-loaded — most of its money arrived opening weekend.
Opening week (7-day): $10.2M — 53% of its US & Canada run.
