Synopsis

In 2003, Harvard University undergraduate and computer programmer Mark Zuckerberg began developing a new concept that would eventually evolve into the global social networking platform Facebook. Six years later, Zuckerberg became one of the youngest billionaires in history. However, his rapid rise to success brought both personal and legal challenges, including two lawsuits—one of which involved a former friend.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

A crew of 417+ credited

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

2010 · Box office

💰 Box-office hit — grossed 5.6× 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).
