Emma
A clever and confident young woman, convinced she knows best, takes it upon herself to match her friends with love—only to realize she's been ignoring the feelings growing between her and the man she's always trusted most.
“Cupid is armed and dangerous!”
Synopsis
Emma Woodhouse is a young woman known for her friendly nature and a tendency to interfere in the personal lives of others. She frequently attempts to bring together individuals who are mismatched. Although she takes a keen interest in romantic matters, Emma remains unaware of her own emotions and the connection she shares with the kind Mr. Knightley.

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.

✅ Made its money back — grossed 3.7× 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).
