(celebrity.land, KYMA) – A new study<\/a> shows the number of female directors behind Hollywood’s top films dropped significantly in 2025.<\/p>\n

Only nine of the top 100 domestic hits were directed by women. That’s a decrease from 13% in 2024 to just 8% this year.<\/p>\n

The report found Paramount, Warner Bros. and Lionsgate did not hire a single female director for the films included in the study.<\/p>\n

Researchers say the decline isn’t due to a lack of talent. In fact, critics gave films directed by women similar or higher ratings than those directed by men.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
