2-4 weeks won't be too bad.

The studios will only see the 400M

domestic and 1B WW, all else be damned.

 

It would be a terrible idea to sales the studio the importance of Writer and script to show them Transformer 2, you are certainly right, it was the most successful of the franchise. Downhill since then.

*Ninja'd. OOPS.

 

I don't think 4 weeks is likely though. Don't strikes last more than 50 days, typically?

Is it not a bit weird to see a list you don't have to adjust for inflation or market size ?

I didn't think so. Hoping that this ends up like 1985, but I really doubt it.

I'll be pissed if SNL has to end early.  They had some good hosts coming up.  Plus, Haim (the band, not Saban) is scheduled as the musical guest in a couple weeks and I really enjoy them.

Will you lose faith in humanity if only one of the two movies you listed does well, or does it have to be both?

Has to be both.  No exceptions.

I'm not expecting anything to be settled on tonight or tomorrow. If they're denying 44%, odds are they'll deny 50%.

If true, I don't see this strike resolving in the 2-4 week period mentioned earlier. Settle in, this is going long. Half of summer 2018 and beyond is going to see major shakeups.
