What did a 2014 analysis by the statistics website FiveThirtyEight reveal about movies passing the Bechdel test?

The analysis found that about half of a sample of movies from 1970 to 2013 had scenes in which two women discuss something other than a man, with the share increasing since 1970 but plateauing in later decades. Films released between 1990 and 2013 that passed the test had a 35 percent lower median budget than those that failed the test.
