Synopsis

Beca, a college student who is certain she does not want to be part of a clique, ends up becoming one after arriving at her new school. Placed among a group of girls ranging from mean to nice to just plain weird, she discovers that their only commonality is their exceptional singing ability. Beca pushes the women of the group beyond their usual traditional arrangements, guiding them into a realm of innovative harmonic combinations as they compete to reach the top of college music competitions.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

A crew of 137+ 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.

Box Office

2012 · Box office

💰 Box-office hit — grossed 6.8× 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).
