Synopsis

Lucy Kelson, an environmental lawyer, joins the firm of billionaire George Wade as part of an agreement to protect a local community center. George, described as indecisive and weak-willed, becomes increasingly reliant on Lucy for advice on both legal issues and personal matters such as clothing choices. Frustrated, Lucy resigns and selects June Carter, a Harvard graduate, as her successor. As Lucy's tenure at the firm comes to a close, she becomes jealous of June and begins to reconsider her decision to leave George.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

A crew of 52+ 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

2002 · Box office

Made its money back — grossed 3.3× 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).
