The number of Executive Producers on movies has more than doubled since 2000. And this kind of credit inflation is also present in other producer credits. Why?
Honestly, thank you for this breakdown - I've often seen screen upon screen of different producer titles, and now I finally understand them!
"The 2025 Argentine film Death of a Comedian cited 10,123 Associate Producers." is a sentence to savour.
I've developed a rule of thumb: if the number of producers outnumber the number of key cast listed, the end result will not likely be worth watching.
Sadly, this rule is rarely broken.
You never saw Lord of War.
