The Grand Budapest Hotel
A young lobby boy forms an unlikely alliance with a suave concierge at the legendary Grand Budapest Hotel, embarking on a wild chase to protect a priceless manuscript and survive the chaos of a changing world.
“A murder case of Madam D. with enormous wealth and the most outrageous events surrounding her sudden death!”
Synopsis
The Grand Budapest Hotel follows the story of a renowned concierge at a prominent European hotel during the interwar period and his bond with a young employee who becomes his devoted protégé. The narrative centers on the theft and subsequent retrieval of a valuable Renaissance painting, the struggle over a vast family inheritance, and the gradual and then rapid changes that reshaped Europe in the first half of the 20th century.

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 hit — grossed 5.8× 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).
Worldwide gross
