Synopsis

Tammy, a burger-joint employee, has a disastrous day that includes wrecking her car, losing her job, and discovering her husband's infidelity. With no money or transportation, her options are limited, and she decides to hit the road. Her only viable option is to embark on a road trip with her hard-drinking grandmother, Pearl, who has a car, cash, and a desire to see Niagara Falls. Although not the escape Tammy envisioned, the trip may ultimately be what she needs.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

A crew of 333+ 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

2014 · Box office

💰 Box-office hit — grossed 5.0× 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).
