Recent reports from UCLA highlight the increasing influence of women and minorities in driving the success of Hollywood films. The 11th annual UCLA Hollywood Diversity Report noted that the top films in 2023 had the most diverse casts ever recorded. However, despite this progress, the share of female writers, lead actors, and overall cast members decreased in the same period. The report also emphasized the potential for significant revenue growth, estimating an additional $12-18 billion annually if Latino representation in Hollywood improved.
