[QUOTE="Snarf Zagyg, post: 9105462, member: 7023840"] Since it is still too soon for the fall streaming power ranking, I am posting Strike Update 2 here- First, the good news. The AMPTP finally came to the WGA with an offer. The bad news? Well, it was a "You should be so lucky to take this offer, and no, there will no negotiations." In short, it wasn't a real offer, but a lecture and an opportunity for the AMPTP to issue a press release (the "We're not the baddies, really" press release). ....[I]that said, [/I]while it wasn't a serious attempt at opening up the negotiations again or resolving the strike, it did at least have some proposals that indicated movement on a few issues, including AI and sharing data from the streaming services. And it did have the major movers and shakers behind it (Iger, Sarandos, Zaslav, Langley). So it was mostly cloud, but with a small silver lining. The general outlook remains grim, as to this point the studios have been able to extract additional profits by lowering costs while continuing to rely on the pipeline they have built up. However, they are starting to feel the bite- both in terms of promoting new movies, as well as looking forward to the Summer of 2024. Personal prediction- expect to see real movement by the end of September. Remember that even if a deal is agreed to in principle, the devil is in the details and those will have to be hammered out and ratified in votes by the membership which takes time. If a deal is not reached by then, it will start to have dire impacts on next year's slate of movies. [/QUOTE]
