I'd say everything after that's started production and/or July 2018 is safe from major damage, I'd argue that most animated movies in that timeframe may be fine. 

 

Animated movies are not under WGA contracts.

Anything that's been greenlit but isn't already shooting will be heavily hurt or delayed.

Anything in development will probably just be delayed.

Anything already shooting will be hurt (hard to tell whether significantly or not).

Anything later in shooting will be mildly hurt (probably).

Anything in post will be mildly hurt (probably).

 

TV is gonna be a clusterfuck - so many shows had Traaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaash seasons the last time

Deadpool and Ant-Man should be fine; their scripts are mostly final by now.

Nothing is final until shooting stops. Even then it's still only mostly final.

Deadpool doesn't need a script anyway just film Ryan Reynolds cracking dick jokes and making fun of Josh Brolin

OOF, Deadpool 2 fits right into this.

Give it to me straight @Tele Came Back. How worried should I be about Thor?

A writer's job isn't over when the script is done isn't it? He / she still has to be present during the shooting of the movie to make changes to the script and dialogue as required.

Yeah, someone has to write the script for reshoots.

From a lot of interview, it does look like those franchise movie rarely have a script when they are greenlight and often not a final one even when the principal photography start.

Yes, it could be as simple as having to rewrite for a location. You can't.

Not at all. That movie is more or less in the can at this point.

I think unlike the last WGA strike, the AMPTP will try and hammer out a deal a lot sooner since Upfronts are coming up and the networks don't want to have an empty fall season.

 

QoS was badly affected by the last strike, Daniel Craig and Marc Forester had to do unofficial rewrites as the script was nowhere near ready.

Reshoots will probably be postponed on it tho.  Every Marvel film has reshoots, but they can't shoot them if there's nothing they wrote for them.

There's not really a "final script" until the movie finishes post. You have a shooting script, of course, which could be considered "final" (generally speaking), but even then it will probably go through steady minor revisions all the way through shooting.

[DMan7]

Once pre-production is done assuming no reshoots is needed then those movies are safe however movies that are currently in pre-production might have to delay shooting until the strike is over.

I hope so. What the WGA's asking for is really pretty minor in terms of the overall picture of what the studios are collectively earning. At this point I assume they don't want to appear as pushovers. And they're notorious for trying to strike hard deals against writers.

Last time it was worse because it was happening during TV season itself. Worst comes to worst everything will just premiere later than usual.
