Honey, I Blew Up the Kid
When eccentric inventor Wayne Szalinski’s growth machine turns his toddler into a towering menace, he must race against a ruthless colleague to shrink his son back before the giant wreaks havoc on the city.
“The BIG Laughs Start January 6th!”
Synopsis
Wayne Szalinski is once again working on a new invention. This time, rather than shrinking objects, he aims to build a machine capable of making things grow. Similar to the first film, his machine ends up causing unintended consequences.

The scale of the collaboration
A crew of 51+ 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.

⚖️ Fell short of break-even — grossed 1.5× 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).
