Prolific 'Girls Trip' and 'Ride Along' producer Will Packer talks about what's coming up next for him and the 10th anniversary of his Will Packer Productions.

Will Packer knows that diversity in movies is good business. The producer has become a standout in Hollywood, making films with mostly Black casts that cater to an underserved audience — and that audience has rewarded him for it. His 2017 film 'Girls Trip,' starring Tiffany Haddish, Regina Hall, Queen Latifah and Jada Pinkett Smith, was the highest-grossing comedy of that year. Comedies 'Think Like a Man' and 'Ride Along' have seen massive success at the box office.

There definitely has been progress — you look at the voices in front of and behind the camera, and they're more diverse than ever before. But we started from where there was such a dearth of any kind of real, authentic diversity, we have so far to go. Even though I'm optimistic, I don't have any delusions of thinking that we've turned some incredible corner.
