Viola Hastings finds herself in a difficult situation. Her plan to impersonate her twin brother, Sebastian, and take his place at a new boarding school is threatened by unexpected complications. She develops feelings for her attractive roommate, Duke, who is in love with the beautiful Olivia, who, in turn, has fallen for Sebastian. As if this were not enough, Viola's dual identity and tangled emotions create further complications.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

A crew of 92+ 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

2006 · Box office

Made its money back — grossed 2.9× 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).
