Larger budget films have more credits than smaller budget films , this is because larger budget films have more people involved in the production of the larger budget films , however in lower budget films you find that there are more production companies , where as in large budget films they have one or two productions films who have invested a large amount of capital , where as lower budget films have several production companies who have invested a small amount so that if the movie doesn't break even they will lose less
