The Wedding Date
A jilted New Yorker hires a charming male escort to pose as her boyfriend at her sister’s London wedding, determined to prove she’s still desirable. As the fake romance sparks real chemistry, she must outwit her smug ex‑fiancé and decide whether love is worth more than a perfect façade.
“Love doesn't come cheap.”
Synopsis
As her younger sister's wedding approaches, Kat Ellis is faced with the unwelcome task of traveling to London alone for the event. Matters are further complicated by the fact that Jeffrey, the man who broke things off with her just as they were nearing marriage, is serving as the groom's best man. Resolved to prove—especially to Jeffrey—that her love life remains as vibrant and exciting as ever, Kat enlists the help of a charismatic male escort to accompany her.

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.

✅ Made its money back — grossed 3.1× 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).
