BREAKING: Women Are Hilarious And People Love To Watch Their Movies

Hollywood Can't Ignore Funny Women Anymore

n a week filled with wild stories, from Supreme Court rulings to spontaneous heroic filibusters and the collapse of Paula Deen’s career, this may be the craziest gosh darn newsflash yet: women are funny and the public likes it!

Sure, you may find it hard to believe, since movie studios are filling our theaters with aliens and superheroes and car crashes and mega explosions, but comedy is still alive, and it’s not just men who can make jokes. This weekend, moviegoers are flocking to see Melissa McCarthy and Sandra Bullock star as buddy cops in The Heat, a romp of a comedy written by Katie Dippold and directed by Paul Feig. Box office experts predicted that it would take in a very solid $30 million, but it looks like it’ll soar past that — all the way up to $40+ million.
