“Made In Hollywood. U.S.A.”
Aspiring filmmakers Mel Funn, Marty Eggs and Dom Bell go to a financially troubled studio with an idea for a silent movie. In an effort to make the movie more marketable, they attempt to recruit a number of big name stars to appear, while the studio's creditors attempt to thwart them.

Source: TMDB. Domestic/international split (~45/55, genre-typical) and the opening-weekend figure (32% of the domestic run, typical for Comedy) are MoviesRankd estimates. Profit is gross revenue minus production budget and excludes marketing — studios typically need ~2–2.5× budget to break even.
