Studios Give SAG-AFTRA Deadline To Make Deal & End Strike With TV & Summer Movie Seasons In Peril
09.11.2023 - 00:33 / deadline.com
EXCLUSIVE: The studios have told SAG-AFTRA they need to come to a deal ASAP to save what’s left of the broadcast season and the 2024 Summer movie slate.
About an hour ago, representatives for the AMPTP informed the actors guild that they want to know by 5 pm PT today if a deal is possible or not, we’re told from multiple sources on both sides.
With the fall season already a write-off and numerous movies being moved to new release dates, the studios have told SAG-AFTRA that “the demands of the business of would force us to take a look at what’s on the table,” a well-positioned individual says.
Called its “last, best and final offer” at the time, deal the studios put before SAG-AFTRA on November 3 was allegedly full of big compensation increases and “full” AI protections. With hopes to get an abbreviated season on the networks in late January or early February, there is no more wiggle room broadcasters fear to be able to get productions up and running if there isn’t a sealed deal quickly..
“It’s appropriate to bring this to an end,” a studio insider told Deadline on the flag planted in the sand Wednesday. “This deal is the best of all the guild deals and it’s up to Duncan to sell it to the members,” an C-Suiter declared today of an agreement and SAG-AFTRA chief negotiator Duncan Crabtree-Ireland.
Another studio source tells us about the deal: “SAG-AFTRA has won.”
Neither SAG-AFTRA or the AMPTP responded to request for comment from Deadline on the deadline. If and when they do, we will update.
Of course, the studios’ deadline tactic could blow up in their face. Especially, if the guild and its members see the move as more of the same of the AMPTP “bullying” that they and the WGA have complained about in the past.
