Hollywood Strikes Are Over! - SAG-AFTRA agrees to a deal

[Disney Irish]

Okay. But if I keep being doom and gloom from time to time, don’t blame me. Blame the AMPTP and the CEOs for refusing to pay their writers and actors. If the AMPTP should’ve pay their writers and actors in the first place, I wouldn’t have this doom and gloom moments. They’re fault! Not mine!

Lol, If there wasn't this issue I'm sure you'd find other reasons for doom and gloom.

Take a break from this topic, there isn't a reason to follow it every day. The strike will end when it ends.

Fine, I will. At least it’s confirmed that Wish won’t be delayed in theaters.

Interesting angle on WGA messaging strategy...

The studios went public with their WGA offer. Was it a mistake?

Signaling increasing frustration with the Writers Guild of America, Hollywood studios took the unusual step of publicizing their latest offer to the guild.

Also, Deadline states that The Marvels may moved it's release date from November 10th to November 3rd to take advantage of IMAX screening of the film previously taken by Dune Part Two.


I also expected Wish (Disney's 100th anniversary animated film) will take advantage for IMAX screening previously taken by Dune Part Two. Let see how the next trailer goes appeared for Wish.

This will actually be good for it, gives it little competition and premium screens hopefully leading to higher box office.

They were already getting Oscar predictions from Variety, Hollywood Reporter, etc. Yikes.

Yeah I am excited for this and sucks to see it moved to 2024 but I’m good with it if it helps all the actors get what they deserve.

Could actually be good for Dune 2 for it’s award winning chances next year depending on it’s competition….as I somehow have a feeling this years awards could be all about Oppenheimer…although it will have to be something to be remember for the Oscars from March

Calm down, this news appears to be several weeks old.

Hollywood is far from going bankrupt.

Hollywood is not going bankrupt.

But, that’s because the studios have most of the money and revenue streams. It’s clear their goal is to starve out the labor side of things until they’re desperate to strike a deal.

Oppenheimer will probably win Best Picture unless the remake of Color Purple knocks it out of the park. I expect Barbie to be nominated and Ryan Gosling to not only be nominated, but to win. That Flower Moon thing could be an upset. Anyway, we shall see.

It's not going to work. Once the studios have no actors or writers, what do you think they are going to do?

Well, that at least gives me more time to track down the cute guy I saw Dune with in 1984. Just to see if he's still cute, of course. Because that movie was a complete weirdo snoozefest for me in '84.

But it's funny what you can remember if your date is cute.

Lean more heavily into reality TV and documentaries, unveil more older catalogue titles, and push more into live events (like sports). I think they’re just going to push this until the writers and actors are at a desperate point financially in their own lives.

i want to apologize of my doom and gloom moments. Despite of what I said, I don't believe Hollywood and other companies will end and shutdown forever. I guess maybe I was upset that the negotiations didn't go well than I thought. I don't want to blame the writers and the actors because they have rights to strike, but I would blame the AMPTP and ceos, but I guess it's just me. One positive note that will admit that I'm glad that Disney is not going to delay Wish and Once Upon A Studio. The only question is, when is their next negotiations? They better make a fair and better deal soon or, well I don't what will happen for Hollywood, but AMPTP needs to steo up and make a fair and better deal with writers and actors. I'll try to patient, but I will not like it.

He’s insane! I have enough with this negativity for one day.

It’ll be fascinating to see who comes out on top of all this, especially when random old catalogue shows like Friends or The Office prove themselves more valuable than countless new series that are far more expensive to produce.

It’s odd, but I think consumers have so much content that their disposal right now that they haven’t missed any “new” things. Really, they’ll just rewatch Frasier or Seinfeld over again.

Bingo.

All of the late night talk shows, except Gutfeld, have been off the air since the first of May. Has anyone noticed, much less cared? I haven't. And I use to watch Johnny Carson religiously. I even wrote him a letter once after that hamster thing that Joan Embry brought up from San Diego pooped on his head on national television.

But now? I don't watch the late night shows. Don't care about them.

It's not 1985, or even 2005. The amount of 4K HD entertainment options the average working-class American with a streaming service or two now has at their disposal is phenomenally huge. I think that's where both the Writers and the Actor's guilds have overplayed their hand. The amount of content, much of it from entirely amateur YouTube videos that get Millions of views per week, is a huge source of content out there in the free market.

And no union dues needed for those content creators.
