2023 Marked ‘Historic Low’ for Women in Leading Film Roles

This is interesting. While Disney has been focused on shoving female-led films down our throats for some reason -- and losing money -- apparently other studios aren’t doing the same.

2023 marked a historic low for women in leading roles among the year’s 100 top-grossing films, according to the latest USC Annenberg Inclusion Initiative report.

Article says “In a year where the box office was dominated by the $1.4 billion-grossing Barbie, one might expect to find a plethora of other hit films led by women and girls among Hollywood’s top earners. However, 2023 marked a historic low for women in leading roles among the year’s 100 top-grossing films.”

Barbie’s success was a fluke spurred by the novelty of its being released the same weekend as Oppenheimer.

If it had been released on its own, it wouldn’t have made anywhere near as much.

Movies are a business. The ones that appeal to the wider audiences succeed most often.

Films led by women rarely appeal to that audience, especially when they’re woke fantasies focused on trying to prove women are better than men by making male characters look like idiots.
