Only One Big Movie This Summer Directed By A Woman

The Washington Post has breaking news that it pays to be a man in Hollywood…

In 2013, women directed about 14 percent of the films in the-numbers.com’s database of top box office draws. This is up from a low of about 8 percent in 2010. But women are much more scarce at the top of the box office.
