The Parent Trap
Identical twin sisters raised worlds apart—one on a Napa vineyard, the other in London—are thrust together at a summer camp where their fierce rivalry forces them to decide whether to bridge their fractured families or remain strangers.
“Twice the Fun, Double the Trouble.”
Synopsis
Hallie Parker and Annie James are identical twins who were separated at a young age due to their parents' circumstances.

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 6.1× 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).
