The Queen
New Prime Minister Tony Blair must balance his reform agenda with a nation’s grief as he confronts the royal family over Princess Diana’s funeral, risking his political future.
“Our Leaders. Ourselves.”
Synopsis
The Queen offers an intimate behind-the-scenes look at the relationship between HM Elizabeth II and Prime Minister Tony Blair as they navigate the challenge of balancing the Royal family's private grief over the death of Diana with the public's expectation of a visible expression of mourning.

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 8.2× 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).
