Study finds almost no increase in diversity in popular films over the last decade

It's tempting to believe that the recent groundswell in talk about Hollywood's diversity problem would result in actual improvement. But the numbers — at least so far — paint a sobering story.

A new comprehensive study from USC's Annenberg Inclusion Initiative found that the top 100 grossing films from 2007 to 2017 (1,100 total) show minimal to no change over the stated 11 years of the study. Both on- and off-screen, exclusion of marginalized races, ethnicities, sexual orientations, and genders, as well as people with disabilities, remains as high as ever.
