The Nanny Diaries
A fresh‑out of college nanny lands in a Manhattan mansion where she must tame a spoiled heir, navigate a volatile wealthy family’s dysfunction, and win a new romance before her dream career unravels.
“A comedy about life at the top, as seen from the bottom.”
Synopsis
A college graduate takes a job as a nanny for a wealthy family in New York City. Settling into their home, she must navigate the family's personal struggles, a developing romantic relationship, and the challenges of caring for their difficult, privileged child.

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.

⚖️ Fell short of break-even — grossed 2.4× 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).
