Marie Antoinette
A young and idealistic Marie Antoinette navigates the treacherous world of 18th-century French court politics, struggling to win the love of her husband and the respect of a hostile Versailles while under pressure to secure the future of the French monarchy.
“Rumor. Scandal. Sex. Fame. Revolution.”
Synopsis
The film offers a retelling of the story of France's iconic but ill-fated queen, Marie Antoinette, beginning with her betrothal and marriage to Louis XVI at the age of fifteen, followed by her reign as queen at nineteen, and culminating in the fall of Versailles.

The scale of the collaboration
A crew of 55+ 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).
