Synopsis

Peter Parker is a high school outcast who was left without his parents at a young age and raised by his Uncle Ben and Aunt May. Like many teenagers, he is trying to understand his identity and the events that shaped him. When Peter uncovers a mysterious briefcase that once belonged to his father, he begins a journey to uncover the truth behind his parents' disappearance, which leads him to Oscorp and the laboratory of Dr. Curt Connors, his father's former business partner. As Spider-Man faces off against Connors' alter ego, The Lizard, Peter must make crucial decisions about how to use his powers and define his future as a hero.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

A crew of 619+ 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

✅ Made its money back — grossed 3.5× 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).
