A24 supremacy is REALLLLL omg 

[Bloodflowers.]

 

An independent film studio A24 has reached a deal with SAG-AFTRA and now actors who are on strike can work on films made by A24

 

[Gui Blackout]

Only the best studio in Hollywood

[Bubble Tea]

Ugh these legends can't stop winning. 

[Desire]

They truly are the best studio  Happy to support them with my AAA24 membership and constantly seeing their releases  

[Zeferino]

Lemme stream “Pearl” & “X” 

[Mitsouko]

The fact that a new, independent, relatively small studio like A24 can meet unions’ requests but the multibillion dollar established megastudios “cannot” 

[Sexyzinger]

A24 you will always be famous

[awesomepossum]

Great branding and business move! Hopefully this puts more pressure on the larger studios. If this goes on long enough, A24 will be the only game in town while the other studios can't produce anything without actors.

 

Edit: Wait.. did they agree to the writers' demands too?

Correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t this only pertain to that one Anne Hathaway and Hunter Schafer movie??? And it wasn’t necessarily a deal that was struck, but because the film was truly independent it doesn’t impact the strike.

BLOOMBERG: Disney Might Delay Some 2023 Movie Releases Over Strikes
 

Walt Disney Co. is reviewing its schedule of film releases through the rest of the year and may delay some titles because striking actors won’t help promote the pictures, according to people familiar with the matter.

The discussions are at an early stage, but could impact films including Poor Things, Next Goal Wins, Wish and Magazine Dreams, which are all slated for release this year. Any changes will depend on the outcome of the review, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing internal matters.

 

[Mellark]

A24 meeting the SAG-AFTRA terms speaks volumes and shows that an indie studio can meet demands, but a corporate studio like Disney, Netflix, and Paramount can't and has the resources to do so, they just don't want to. My pet peeve from the strikes is how some people on social media are spreading misinformation and want to start things like a consumer boycott when the guilds didn't ask for it, and it wouldn't be realistic and it is such a complex issue - and the overuse of the term scab and it being misused without doing research.

 

Honestly, this would be all over if the corporate media execs actually just paid them and met their terms, they have the resources, they just don't want to and want the working class to suffer.

VARIETY: Force Majeure Terminations for First Look, Overall Deals at Struck Companies Coming as Early as Aug. 1 (EXCLUSIVE)
 

Major Hollywood studios and streaming platforms are considering terminating some of their first look and overall deals with writers as soon as Aug. 1, more than half-a-dozen sources with knowledge of various term agreements and talks inside these companies told Variety. The deals would be torn up under contractual force majeure clauses, as SAG-AFTRA and the Writers Guild of America continue to strike.
 

Decision makers could begin ending these pacts as soon as next week, said insiders from both the creative community and their corporate counterparts. Many of these deals were suspended only a week into the strike in May, by producers including Amazon, HBO, Warner Bros. TV, NBCUniversal, Disney and CBS Studios. The writers strike is also rapidly approaching the 90-day mark when, historically, dealmakers have the option to kill agreements in the face of an “act of God,” the common show business interpretation for how the phrase “force majeure” applies to these type of labor shutdowns. Overall deals typically pay overhead for a writer’s company and fund the development of projects. First-look deals also provide financial padding and, in return, guarantee that the studio or company has favored nation status when it comes to determining potential distribution of a series or film. The deals being considered for termination are almost exclusively in television, numerous insiders noted. 
 

Sources at top agencies representing writers said they had not received any official notice regarding the Aug. 1 date, but many expect to start receiving word next week. The studios notified them of deal suspensions in writing or on phone calls in May, Variety reported at the time.
