Roman Holiday
A jaded American reporter in Rome stumbles upon a runaway crown princess and must navigate a whirlwind of mistaken identities and royal intrigue before her secret—and his career—collapse.
Synopsis
Overwhelmed by her demanding schedule, European princess Ann decides to take a brief escape during her stay in Rome. After taking a sedative prescribed by her doctor, she falls asleep on a park bench and is discovered by American reporter Joe Bradley, who brings her to his apartment for safety. The following morning, Joe learns of Ann's royal status and makes a bet with his editor to secure an exclusive interview with her. However, as their interactions continue, romantic feelings begin to complicate his professional intentions.

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 8.0× 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).
