Synopsis

In the 1970s in London, during the height of the punk rock revolution, a young grifter named Estella is determined to establish herself through her fashion designs. She forms a bond with two young thieves who share her love for mischief, and together they build a life on the streets of London. Estella's talent for fashion eventually draws the attention of the Baroness von Hellman, a renowned and strikingly stylish figure in the fashion world. Their relationship triggers a series of events and revelations that lead Estella to embrace her darker side, ultimately transforming her into the bold, fashionable, and vengeful Cruella.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

A crew of 958+ 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.

Box Office

2021 · Box office

⚖️ Fell short of break-even — grossed 1.2× 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).
