The Brothers Grimsby
A reformed football hooligan races to a high‑stakes charity gala to reconnect with his long‑lost MI6 brother, only to discover a hitman hiding a lethal weapon in a video camera and must stop the assassination before both their worlds—and his fragile family—collapse.
“Behind every hero is an embarrassing sibling.”
Synopsis
A top MI6 assassin, wrongfully accused and on the run, teams up with his estranged, football hooligan brother to thwart a sinister global plot.

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.

📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.8× 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).
