The cinema industry has been going through a painful process since May. So much so that one of the biggest strikes in Hollywood history began and continues until today. As such, there were disruptions in the films that moviegoers were waiting for with great excitement. This was actually the reason why we haven’t been able to see new productions in theaters lately. However, the latest news reveals that everyone can now breathe a sigh of relief.

According to the latest news, a tentative agreement was signed between the production studios and the Writers Guild of America (WGA). Not much information was given about the details of this agreement, but the WGA announced that some gains were made regarding the protection of writers’ rights and earnings. Netflix, Warner Bros. Writers had been negotiating with giant producers such as Disney and Disney over the past week. The final point we have reached reveals that the negotiations yielded results in favor of the authors.

Salaries will increase, bonus payments will be made

According to the information obtained, the salaries of the writers will be increased within the scope of the agreement. Additionally, audience data will be shared more transparently and authors will receive bonus payments for works that become popular. In addition to all this, it will be mandatory to employ a certain number of personnel for a production. It is currently unknown in which other areas the WGA has made gains.

Let’s point out this; At this point, it is not correct to say that the strike is completely over. Because this is a temporary agreement. The American Association of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) and the WGA will bring together all parties in the next stage and make a final agreement. When that agreement is signed, one of the biggest strikes in Hollywood history will be clearly over. When that day comes, we will inform you again.
