It’s too bad the Meryl Streep’s movies don’t come with action figures or a McDonald’s tie-in…because the woman has the midas touch way beyond the box office.
While Sex and the City’s success might not have changed all of Hollywood’s minds about women as a market one place where women are getting new found attention is New Line the studio that produced the film.
We talk about this issue on this site all the time, but I love it when a woman in Hollywood gets down and dirty about how Hollywood treats women.
One of the stories the media played up over the holidays was the head to head film opening of exes Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston. Pitt stars in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Aniston co-stars in Marley & Me. The Christmas opening of both films was depicted as a “smackdown” or war between the exes. The two films couldn’t be more different and since both did very well, there clearly is room for both of them to have successful film careers.
