Our analysis involved the 1,300 top movies, focusing on the highest earning 100 films from 2007 through 2019.2 Every film was categorized in one of two ways, featuring a lead or co lead driving the action or as an ensemble storyline. Only those films featuring a lead/co lead are discussed in this brief. Put differently, ensembles were excluded but will be represented in our longer report released in the summer.
