A new study conducted by USC’s Annenberg Inclusion Initiative has revealed what many 2018 moviegoers already knew: Women and people of color crushed it at the box office.
Looking at the 100 highest-grossing films from each of the past 12 years, USC's research team broke down 2018's diversity gains by comparing last year's casting stats with previously established casting trends.

"2018 offers hope that industry members have taken action to create content that better reflects the world in which we live, and the box office seems to have rewarded them for it," said founder and director of the initiative Stacy L. Smith in a statement to the LA Times.
"This data shows us that it is possible for change to be achieved — companies must not grow complacent but continue the progress they have made in 2019 and in the years to come."
