Last Holiday
A modest department store clerk diagnosed with a terminal illness cashes out and jets to a lavish European resort, determined to live fully in her final weeks while confronting the bittersweet tension between newfound indulgence and the ticking clock of her fate.
“She always thought she was somebody special... and she was.”
Synopsis
When Georgia Byrd, an introverted department store saleswoman, learns she has a terminal illness, she begins to reassess her overly cautious life. With only weeks remaining, she withdraws her life savings, sells all her possessions, and travels to Europe, where she spends her time at a luxurious hotel, embracing a more vibrant and carefree lifestyle. Her upbeat and passionate demeanor earns her the admiration of those around her, including the renowned Chef Didier. The one person missing from her newfound life is her longtime crush, Sean Williams.

The scale of the collaboration
A crew of 102+ 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 0.9× 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).
