“Things just got a little more despicable.”
Synopsis
Gru and Lucy welcome a new member to their family, Gru Jr., who seeks to torment his father. At the same time, Gru confronts a new antagonist, Maxime Le Mal, and his femme‑fatale girlfriend Valentina, prompting the family to go on the run.

The scale of the collaboration
A crew of 45+ 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 hit — grossed 9.7× 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).
