Synopsis

A knight and his valet are troubled by a witch and seek the help of a wizard to resolve the situation. However, something goes awry, and they are transported from the 12th century to the year 2000. In the modern era, the knight meets some of his family and gradually learns about life in the new century. Still needing to return to the 12th century to confront the witch, he begins searching for a wizard. The film is a remake of the 1993 French film *Les Visiteurs* (*The Visitors*).

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 22

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

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

2001 · Box office

📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.5× 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).
