I added filters for minimum 10M domestic revenue and released 2000 or later for various data fidelity reasons. (I do not have access to budget information so cannot account for that) Sample Size is still 2,012 which is good enough.

Spoilers: yes, movies which star male actors (fitting this criteria) earn significantly more than female leads on average, and it is statistically significant.

Additionally, there is no difference (practical and statistical) between RT/Metacritic scores of movies with male leads/female leads.

Which is odd because the box office os 50/50 on gender.
