Movies with Strong Female Roles Made More Money in 2013 than Those Without

In 2013 the biggest blockbusters had strong female leads

According to vocativ.com, the biggest movies in 2013 scored pretty high on the Bechdel Test, a test that measures the quality of screen time for women.

The three-part criteria for a movie to pass: It has to have (1) at least two women in it, who (2) talk to each other about (3) something besides a man.

What we found is this: The grand total domestic box office number for the movies that passed is significantly higher than the box office totals for the movies that didn’t. We’re talking billions.

See the infographic below for more a complete list of movies that passed and failed the Bechdel Test:
