Coming 2 America
When King Akeem returns to Queens to locate the street‑wise son he never knew existed and groom him as Zamunda’s future ruler, he must outwit a scheming neighboring kingdom while bridging royal tradition with urban reality.
“A sequel is in the heir.”
Synopsis
Prince Akeem Joffer is on the verge of becoming King of Zamunda when he learns he has a son he was previously unaware of, living in America. The son is a street-smart native of Queens named Lavelle. In fulfillment of his royal father's final wish to prepare this son as the future crown prince, Akeem and his friend Semmi return to America once more.

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.
