The Paul Feig-directed Bridesmaids changed the game for female-led Hollywood comedies in 2011, and the Bridesmaids behind-the-scenes facts prove how hard it was to bring that game-changing approach to life. The film has a number of accolades and a phenomenal financial success under its belt, as the movie was not only nominated for several Academy Awards, but it made a huge $306 million worldwide (via Box Office Mojo). That's even more impressive when taking into account its $32.5 million budget. As a result, Bridesmaids became the highest-grossing R-rated comedy with a female lead.
