Emilia Pérez
Rita Mora Castro, a conflicted attorney in Mexico City, navigates moral and legal peril as she defends a cartel kingpin seeking to live authentically as a woman, forcing her to confront her conscience and the dangerous world she's entangled in.
“Passion has a new name.”
Synopsis

A crew of 78+ 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.

📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.6× 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).
