Synopsis

The realm of Azeroth, a peaceful world, is on the verge of war as its civilization is threatened by a fearsome race of invaders: orc warriors fleeing their dying world in search of a new home. As a portal is opened to link the two worlds, one side faces destruction while the other faces extinction. From these opposing sides, two heroes are drawn into a fateful confrontation that will determine the future of their family, their people, and their homeland.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

A crew of 61+ 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

2016 · Box office

✅ Made its money back — grossed 2.7× 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).
