For the first time since 1958, all three of the year’s top-grossing movies in 2017 were led by a woman.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Beauty and the Beast, and Wonder Woman all featured female protagonists in a year marked by a high number of female-led movies.
Wonder Woman, starring Gal Gadot, took the summer ($412.5 million) and set a slew of records on its own.
Daisy Ridley’s Rey led Star Wars: The Last Jedi to become the #1 movie of the year ($533 million) after just three weekends, beating out Emma Watson’s Belle in Beauty and the Beast ($504 million), which took second place.
