Hollywood Diversity Report separated its findings between films made for streaming and those made for theatrical. The results showed that the industry’s push for diversity is making much more progress on the small screen than the big screen.

Among the top 100 original streaming films in 2022, 64% had casts that had at least 30% actors of color, compared to 57% for theatrical films.

Among the top 200 highest grossing theatrical releases at the North American box office, people of color composed only 22% of lead actors, 17% of directors and 12% of writers, all of which are below record-high shares recorded by the study prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Progress for women in key theatrical roles was a bit more mixed. Female share of lead roles in 2022 fell from 44% in 2019 to 39% in 2022 while share of directors and overall cast members remained relatively flat at 15% and 40% in 2022, compared to 15% and 41% in 2019.
