The Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA have both said they are open to talking, but that the studios refuse to engage on their core issues. The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, meanwhile, has said that the unions have been unwilling to drop items that are non-starters, like a demand for a share of streaming revenue and a minimum staffing level for TV writers.

The dual WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes resulted in almost every production pressing pause — not including the movies that have received approval to keep filming.

Netflix stands to benefit from the dual strikes underway in Hollywood while competitors like Disney and Apple will get “weaker,” in part because of the streamer’s vast international production pipeline, a top media-stocks analyst said Wednesday on the brink of earnings season.“The strike plays to their advantage,” Michael Nathanson, founding partner of SVB MoffettNathanson, said on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.” “I’ve not been a Netflix bull, but their setup for this quarter and the next 12 months is incredibly strong.”Co-host Andrew Ross-Sorkin seized on that notion, seeking to clarify whether Nathanson meant Netflix would get stronger merely relative to its competition – or if it could help the streamer overall. The answer seemed to be: a bit of both.“I think relative, clearly, right?” Nathanson said.

Ron Perlman has clarified a “heated” remark he made in response to a quote from a studio executive amid the Hollywood strikes.Last week, the national board of SAG-AFTRA (Screen Actors Guild–American Federation of Television and Radio Artists), which represents 160,000 actors and performers, voted unanimously to strike, seeking better pay and working conditions in the age of streaming, as well as safeguards against the unregulated use of artificial intelligence.Amid the strike, Deadline reported one anonymous studio executive saying of the AMPTP’s (Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers) strategy: “The endgame is to allow things to drag on until union members start losing their apartments and losing their houses.”In response, via a since-deleted Instagram Live, Perlman suggested that the executive should “be careful” as “there’s a lot of ways to lose your house”.A post shared by Ron Perlman (@perlmutations)Taking once again to his page, Perlman has issued a response, saying in a clip that he wanted “to give a background of my experience as a guild member and to give some of my reactions to the current events while we find ourselves in this situation”.“In the aftermath of that, there has been a lot of reaction, mainly because at one point, admittedly, I got quite heated because I was talking about a quote from one of the executives on the other side of the negations talking about how they planned to not even begin negotiating until writers and actors started losing their houses and their apartments,” he said.“And so as you can imagine my reaction to somebody wishing that kind of harm on people in the very same industry that they call their own would engender a response.
