The Lack of U.S. Latino Representation in Films & TV in 2022

Submitted by blurredbylines t3_z25w08 in movies

Latinos are the largest minority group in the U.S., but only 3% of TV shows and 5% of films in 2022 had a Latino lead. Furthermore, only 2.6% of all films in 2022 had a Latino director. Why does the industry continue to ignore this massive market each year?

Latino people can go into filmmaking or acting if they want to, don't force them.

It made 45 million dollars on a 55 million dollar budget, despite a 150+ million dollar break-even point. Including marketing costs and gross payouts, it lost a lot of money.

I personally dug the hell out of the film; and I think OP is wrong that its failure had anything to do with diversity. Issue was that it came about 10 years too late during a time when musicals were also underperforming.
