'Tellingly, the involvement of a female director or writer appeared to make a difference to the number of female protagonists.'
In what is likely to be seen as a boost for Hollywood’s drive to redress decades of male dominance on screen, a new report suggests that a record percentage of leading characters in successful American films are female.
The report focuses on the top 100 grossing films of 2019, as tabulated by the data-gathering website Box Office Mojo, which includes such titles as Avengers: Endgame, Joker and Maleficent: Mistress of Evil. Tellingly, the involvement of a female director or writer appeared to make a difference to the number of female protagonists. The study found that in films with at least one woman director and/or writer, females comprised 58% of protagonists, as opposed to 30% of protagonists for films with only male writers and/or director.
