Check out this article at Variety which says that Maleficent is riding ‘Frozen’s’ coattails to success. Rather than, say, people want to see Angelina Jolie give an insane performance, or the movie looked good, or any of the above. No, the story being told is that Maleficent is just lucky because Frozen also got lucky. The argument that’s being prepped here is that the next time a female-led movie does poorly, that particular trend is dead at the box office. Let me propose another story, one that should be abundantly clear after reading this article: people are tired of seeing the same white men in the same movies over and over again. People like to watch movies featuring women. And not just women: men also like to watch those movies. Kids like to watch those movies. People like to watch movies they want to see, and sometimes those movies can, and should, star women. - Alex Zalben, MTV Thoughts?
