A recent study has shed light on the representation of female characters in the top-grossing films of 2023. The study, conducted by the Center for the Study of Women in Television and Film at San Diego State University, revealed some concerning trends in the industry.
According to the findings, only 18% of the 100 highest-grossing films featured more female than male characters, with a mere 5% of films having an equal number of female and male characters. This meant that a significant 77% of movies had more male characters in speaking roles than female characters.
