Inside Llewyn Davis
A down‑on‑his‑luck folk singer in 1960s Greenwich Village fights to revive his career and keep his dignity alive while a string of personal setbacks—failed gigs, strained relationships, and mounting debts— threaten to silence his music forever.
Synopsis
In the early 1960s, Llewyn Davis, a talented but unstable folk musician, faces financial hardship, troubled relationships, and an uncertain future while living in Greenwich Village.

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 3.0× 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).
