From The Black List blog:
"It seems both in practice and belief that producers and executives are hesitant to place resources in female-driven movies. By the numbers there are fewer female-led movies and even fewer big-budget, female-led movies.
The rationalization always seems to be that women will see male-dominated movies, but men won't see female-dominated movies. But is this true? Are you smarter to greenlight male-dominated movies over female? What do the numbers tell us?

If we're talking numbers strictly-and I'm sure producers often cite "numbers- to push male-driven movies through-well, the data actually says we minimize downside risk and increase upside potential when making female-driven movies."

Do you agree with this analysis?
If it's right, why don't we see more female-lead movies?
