The Wedding Singer
A down‑on‑his‑luck wedding singer whose bride abandons him on their big day must battle crushing self‑doubt and a failing career to rediscover his voice before he loses everything.
“He's gonna party like it's 1985!”
Synopsis
Robbie, a local rock musician who now performs as a wedding singer, is left at the altar on his wedding day. At the same time, waitress Julia is preparing to marry her fiancé, Glenn, after finally setting a wedding date. When Julia and Robbie meet and begin to connect, they discover that their situations are more complicated than either of them anticipated.

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 6.9× 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).
