[Jonwo]

I notice Fran's been quiet for the last few weeks. Did Duncan keep her out of the room or something?

Poop.  Seems about right from what I remember on the WGA ratification though.

They didn't get residuals after all, which is to be expected, but I wonder what that streaming bonus looks like.

this was the most important thing bar none.

The subscriber levy was never likely IMO you can't give money for every subscribers solely to the actors. 

[Cappoedameron]

Exactly now bonuses for successful streaming shows yes. But residuals for subscribers when half the content on streaming services isn't even sag affiliated absolutely not.

Yup. A lot of schedule changes coming up in the next few weeks. 

[Jonwo]

I think the latter half of 2024 will be quite strong. Wicked for example was only 10 days from wrapping and so I assume they'll be able to pick up in January and February and bundle those final shooting days with reshoots.

 

The other films that were basically done were Beetlejuice 2, Gladiator 2 is also a possibility as well, they have 90 minutes of footage so I assume they only need a few weeks to complete the film and keep in mind Ridley is very efficient. Juror Number 2 as a Clint Eastwood film probably doesn't need much to wrap it up given how Clint handles things.

Now that they can reschedule filming, they have new estimated completions, which means new release dates. Everything that stopped filming probably gets kicked down the road 3 months

Depends on their state of completion. If they were almost done and aren't scheduled until much later in the year then they're likely safe. Keep in mind some films don't require much post production like Juror 2 and I would imagine directors have been working on the footage they did shoot. 

[BadOlCatSylvester]

Well, blow me down! Hollywood actually made peace instead of letting their holiday go to waste. Hopefully the guild got what they needed and wanted and won't need to strike again anytime soon.

4 month delay is not bad.

[Squire]

I have to think there’s a good chance Ghostbusters gets delayed.

That trailer being as vague as it was about the release window indicates Sony are weighing their options.

Yeah, but how much of a factor is it that Ghostbusters finished filming before the strike started, unlike Venom?

[emoviefan]

Yeah I'm betting Ghostbusters moves to the summer. That vague coming soon seems to lean toward that.

Oh leave Fran be. The fact she was president of SAG-AFTRA during all of this is something that if you told the world 25-30 years ago (when The Nanny was on the air) that this would happen down the line, the chances of anyone believing you is slim.
