Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules
Seventh‑grader Greg Heffley sets out to prove he’s finally mastered middle school, but his overconfident plans collide with chaotic sibling rivalry and a series of embarrassing mishaps that threaten his newfound reputation.
“Welcome to the next grade.”
Synopsis
is still struggling with the challenges of growing up. As he tries to navigate the complexities of school, friendships, and family, he finds that being cool and in control is harder than it looks. With his signature humor and knack for getting into (and out of) trouble, Greg continues to learn valuable lessons about responsibility, loyalty, and what it really means to be a good person.

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 4.0× 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).
