Bridesmaids
A down‑on‑her‑luck baker turned jewelry clerk must navigate jealous rivalries, a demanding fiancé’s family, and her own restless heart to prove she can still be the best friend—and maid of honor—Lillian needs before her life unravels completely.
“Save the date.”
Synopsis
Annie is struggling with personal turmoil when she learns that her lifelong best friend, Lillian, is getting married and has asked her to be the maid of honor. Despite being heartbroken and financially strained, Annie attempts to navigate the costly and unconventional demands of the wedding planning process. Determined to make the event perfect, she sets out to prove to Lillian and the other bridesmaids how much she is willing to do for someone she truly cares about.

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 8.9× 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).
