Apparently the studios are very angry about the actors’ strike, since after 4 months they did manage to reach a conclusion with the screenwriters, but apparently, with the actors the circumstances are different now
The strike started almost 5 months ago, where the actors organized themselves to demand much fairer things for the actors, but the problems are not over, since now the studios, seeing that things are not going as they wanted, are now ready to end the strike no matter what, even if productions have to be cancelled.
Important movies will be canceled if the actors’ strike does not end
According to Variety, if the strike continues, the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers would have suggested canceling series and movies.
CEOs suggested that certain TV shows would have to be canceled if the strike dragged on much longer. Some on the union side interpreted this as a threat, although from the studio side it was seen as establishing the basic realities of the broadcast production schedule. The union has argued that actors cannot make a sustainable living in the streaming ecosystem and that a radical transformation of the compensation structure is required, they said.
If you don’t know what the strike is about, here are some of the points the actors are asking for:
-11% increase in salaries
-Royalties when a streaming company sells the rights to a series or movie to a platform.
-Improvements in health funds
-Pensions
-Guarantees protecting them against the use of AI in production.
What do you think about it? Do you think the problem will be solved or will it continue? We hope that the studios can reach an agreement quickly and that productions will not continue to be affected.
