The Blind Side has smashed the glass ceiling, becoming the first female-topped film to gross more than $200 million at the domestic box office.
Variety reports that the Sandra Bullock holiday drama about a Southern mother who takes in a football phenom is the only film that has solo billing from a top female star to break the mark, including movies headlined by stars like Julia Roberts, Meryl Streep, Angelina Jolie or Reese Witherspoon.
The only other "chick flick" to break the $200 million mark (domestically) was indie film My Big Fat Greek Wedding, which earned $241.1 million domestically. Ironically, the lead in that, Nia Vardalos, was a total unknown at the time.
