And to reinforce the trend of an epic rise of women of color in fashion, politics and culture, Laetitia Wright’s movies are the top movie box office draw in 2018. No man comes close.

Studying  the top movies from 2014 to 2017 , reality is that films starring women earned more than male-led films. Budget was not a determining factor. Whether the budget was $10 million or $100 million, women delivered box office cash.
