The Tuxedo

A cabbie-turned-chauffeur for a eccentric millionaire must navigate high-stakes adventures and his own growing feelings for the boss's girlfriend, all while keeping his hands off the man who just might be more than he seems.

He's not looking for trouble...he's wearing it.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

A crew of 271+ 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.

⚖️ Fell short of break-even — grossed 1.7× 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).
