Barbie's success was a breakthrough, yet Hollywood hasn't shifted significantly towards female-led films despite its $1.4 billion global earnings.
The industry remains unchanged, with limited progress in female representation in leading roles, as per the University of Southern California's report.
Barbie's impact has been viewed as unique, with no substantial influence on Hollywood's decision-making for more inclusive and different paths.
Stacy L. Smith notes that Hollywood perceives Barbie's success as a standalone occurrence, emphasizing the industry's tendency to overlook systemic change for inclusivity.
