Male characters received two times the amount of screen time as female characters in 2015 (28.5% compared to 16.0%).
When a film has a male lead, this gender gap is even wider, with male characters appearing on screen nearly three times more often than female characters (34.5% compared to 12.9%).
In films with a female lead, male characters appear about the same amount of time as female characters (24.0% compared to 22.6%). This means that even when women are featured in a leading role, male characters appear on screen just as often.
Interesting work here. I just wish they included movie names in their charts. It would’ve provided a better connection to the data.
