Vox Lux
A scarred pop star fights to protect her teenage daughter and salvage her crumbling reputation when a fresh act of terror forces her back into the spotlight, demanding she confront the trauma that launched her fame.
“A twenty-first century portrait.”
Synopsis
In 1999, teenage sisters Celeste and Eleanor survive a seismic, violent tragedy and compose and perform a song about their experience, turning catastrophe into something lovely and cathartic while launching Celeste’s stardom. By 2017, the now‑31‑year‑old Celeste is a mother to a teenage daughter and contends with a career marked by scandals when another act of terrifying violence requires her attention.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 23
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
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.

📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.2× 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).
