Today, #IMDbPro and #ReFrame announced that 30 of the 100 most popular films of 2024 met the ReFrame Stamp criteria for gender-balanced production in the annual ReFrame Report on gender and hiring in film. Analyzing IMDbPro data for 2024's 100 most popular films, the report found that on average, theatrically released films that received the ReFrame Stamp for gender-balanced hiring earned more than double their non-Stamped counterparts at the worldwide box office. The data tells a compelling story about box office performance: • ReFrame Stamped films averaged $293.9M worldwide. • Non-stamped films averaged $117.8M worldwide. • Half of 2024's top 10 box office hits earned the ReFrame Stamp. • Oscar winners "Wicked" and "The Substance" were among the ReFrame Stamp recipients.   These insights, powered by IMDbPro's data from 250+ million monthly global users, provide an objective view of industry hiring patterns and audience engagement. While gender-balanced films consistently demonstrate strong market performance, they represent less than one-third of popular releases. Explore the complete analysis: https://lnkd.in/g7eKs4cQ
