Singin' in the Rain
A charismatic silent‑film star must team up with a talented but outspoken newcomer to save his studio’s transition to talkies, while navigating egos, romance, and the chaos of an industry on the brink of change.
“What a Glorious Feeling!”
Synopsis
In 1927 Hollywood, a silent film star begins a romance with a chorus girl at a time when he and his paranoid co-star are facing the challenges of transitioning to talkies.

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.

✅ Made its money back — grossed 2.8× 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).
