Little Man
A diminutive jewel thief teams up with his clueless brother to steal a priceless diamond, only to go undercover as an infant in a suburban home while evading relentless cops and a ruthless mob boss who demand the loot back.
“Big things come in small packages.”
Synopsis
After his release from prison, dwarf criminal Calvin Sims teams up with his dimwitted brother Percy to steal a valuable diamond from a jewelry store on behalf of mobster Walken. The pair is pursued by the police, and Calvin secretly places the diamond in the purse of executive Vanessa Edwards, whose husband, Darryl Edwards, is trying to start a family. Percy persuades Calvin to disguise himself as a baby and be left at the Edwards' home in an attempt to recover the diamond. Darryl and Vanessa take Calvin in for the weekend and consider adopting him, while Walken pressures Darryl to return the stolen stone.

The scale of the collaboration
A crew of 46+ 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 1.6× 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).
Worldwide gross
$104.0M
US & Canada: $58.6M — 56% of worldwide · International: $45.4M (44%)
Opening weekend: $21.6M — 37% of its US run. Front-loaded — most of its money arrived opening weekend.
Opening week (7-day): $29.6M — 50% of its US & Canada run.
