Transformers: Dark of the Moon
When the Autobots uncover a hidden connection between the Ark of Cybertron and a Decepticon threat on Earth, Optimus Prime must lead a daring mission to the Moon to secure the ancient spacecraft before it falls into enemy hands.
“Be afraid of the dark.”

Synopsis
The Autobots continue their collaboration with NEST, now operating openly rather than in secrecy. However, during a mission in Chernobyl, they discover a strange artifact, which leads Optimus Prime to suspect that the United States government has not been entirely honest with them.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
A crew of 460+ 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
2011 · Box office
💰 Box-office hit — grossed 5.8× 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).
