Bride Wars
Two lifelong friends race to fulfill their dream of marrying at New York’s iconic Plaza Hotel, but when a mysterious Tiffany box sparks unexpected proposals—one from a controlling fiancé and the other from a secretive lover—they must confront love’s hidden agendas before their perfect day slips away.
“Even best friends can't share the same wedding day.”

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 3.8× 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).
