My Big Fat Greek Wedding
Toula Portokalos, a spirited Greek-American trapped in her family's Chicago restaurant, dares to pursue independence and love on her own terms, defying her overbearing father's traditions and her own self-doubt.
“Love is here to stay... so is her family.”
Synopsis
A young Greek woman falls in love with a non-Greek man and faces challenges in gaining her family's acceptance, while also navigating her own understanding of her heritage and cultural identity.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 36
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 hit — grossed 74× 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).
