What's the worst case scenario for Hollywood studios (Mostly Disney, warner and Netflix) if they don't produce anything during six months and don't open the books of how many people view x show.

worst case scenario is the strike ends quickly and their box office bomb marathon continues uninterrupted
golden parachutes, executives retire and everyone goes home
All of the studio land will be sold and turned into giant condo buildings by 2030. Hollywood knows they can't compete anymore with tiktok/twitch/youtube and the shorter attention span of younger generations.
Those hands in the pic belong to the same person. Shouldn't it be 2 right (or left) hands holding?
nice
Lul. Well done. Here ya go.
SHUT IT DOWN
They're definitely in a position where it looks more like one person than two people.
>Shouldn't it be 2 right (or left) hands holding?
The only time you really do that is when you're shaking hands. I think this meant to be two people joining hands, which is practically always right hand to left hand.
It’s just very shitty art where the “artist” clasped their own hands in front of them as a point of reference, perhaps having a friend take a photo over their shoulder with a phone and they used it as a layer to trace over. Joined hands raised upward in unity would be palms out and more bend at the wrists. And they wonder why people complain that everything coming out of Hollywood is shit now.
That’s arm wrestling. If you’re standing side by side, hands joined and raised (in actual unity) it is very different.
No
Its unironically AI art. Which is funny.
They could just reissue old movies in theatres or consolidate their existing libraries with old shows.
I remember they did this in the 90s with Disney movies

Nobody watches movies anymore coz they all have tiktok brain.
And old movies are even less popular.
>And old movies are even less popular.
LIES. You know kids are going to watch old movies to try and make them go viral on the tiktoks.

For me it's prob brain.
If I have paid leave I'll goon 3 times per day and this leaves me a shell of a human being with terrible/nonexistent short term memory.
I really don't want to be with my own thoughts so being on my phone every waking moment off work is all I can do.
They did this during covid. It was funny seeing Back to the Future and Ghostbusters as the top movies of the week but they made dogshit money
>we are going to protect out workers by not allowing them to work and make money
Unions are a scam.
Worst case is a few quarterly reports come and go with no new projects to drive earning and the stock price implodes. Being the studios need projects to make money.
I'm sure Netflix is gonna keep dumping anime and Korean shows on its platform until it all blows over.
Yeah that korean shit doesn't cost Netflix much coz they edit out up to 20 mins per episode and blur out entire sections of the screen to avoid paying licenses.
They'll lose even more if they keep these hacks around.
A24 has agreed to the terms and is making films. They will grow the longer this goes on. Maybe other smaller studios that are ok with the terms will pop up.
LMFAO
Ah yes multi-billionaire israelite who made her fortune decades ago from the exact system she is now against, is out there fighting the man! Stunning and brave!
>Their logo is the israeli hand-rubbing meme
Please tell me it's real
>we need more money to live
>also we can afford not to work for an entire year
>>we need more money to live
>>also we can afford not to work for an entire year
>Mostly thanks to the millionaires that donated millions to keep the strike going so they can keep making millions of dollars more than the rest of the actors.
Good, eat the rich
How much would the streaming residuals demanded by actors and writers actually cost the companies? Is it in the billions? I'm pretty sure they'd agree to the contracts if it weren't for that.
>I'm pretty sure they'd agree to the contracts if it weren't for that.
The writers are used to being paid peanuts. The streamers would prefer to use loopholes from paying them at all. As it is, the writers are using third parties to get royalty estimates, but to argue against those metrics, the streamers would have to release their viewership numbers. Which ain't happening because the whole thing is a ponzi scheme to begin with.
Realistically not much by raw numbers but they’re demanding knowledge of actual viewership numbers which the studios know are absolutely nowhere even in the same ballpark as what their investors think and revealing them results in the biggest israelite-on-israelite legal fight we’ve seen in a very long time
Its not the residuals as much as it is their moronic demands to put mandatory diversity quotas on all projects including miniseries on top of removing any AI jobs which would both theoretically cost billions. A small pay raise would be nothing to hollywood execs, leftists are just going all in and it's going to frick them
They could open the vaults (or in Netflix's case acquire shit from elsewhere) and they'll probably do better than they were before. Honestly if they rereleased the Indy trilogy in cinemas as a large release it would do better than Dial of Destiny.
>Can we have some more moneyyyyyyy? Mr. SCHEFIEEEEEEEEEEELD
worst case scenario is the studios and writers all live long happily ever after
I hate both sides but I hope eventually these streaming services are forced to release viewership numbers
From there you could start dealing with royalties
But why would royalties from a streaming service be anywhere near network TV? They get to run ads all the time on network TV for each airing, on streaming once someone pays the flat fee a month they can watch hundreds of hours if they want with no ads.
>I hope eventually these streaming services are forced to release viewership numbers
That would be nice.
What happens if the studios don't agree in seven months?
>Six months
I bet the big companies like Disney can survive far longer than that.
It depends highly in shareholder sentiment. They just might play into the moronic unions hands
The studios will eventually hire non-union members as writers and actors at a lower rate, utilize AI to cut labor costs, and see any lawsuits resulting from the unions as just the cost of doing business. The studios will take a stronger stance on union busting so the new labor force doesn't get any wild ideas.
When the unions lose their power, many actors and writers will leave the unions and work non-unions positions for the studios because they'll have no other real choice.
I think it all depends on if (potential legal costs - labor cost savings) < (lowest amount agreed by the unions), taking into account the couterparty risk of government interference, which is entirely possible in Commiefornia and with the current administration in white house.
I hope they keep going for the next 6 years.
Streaming will not exist without ads by 2028.
