Major Hollywood Unions Ratify New Contracts, Avoiding Strikes.

The Directors Guild of America (DGA) has ratified a new agreement with the Alliance of Motion Picture & Television Producers (AMPTP), despite low voter turnout. The new contract includes a 5% wage and benefit increase in its first year, a 76% increase in global streaming residuals, and confirmation that directors won't be replaced by AI. DGA president Lesli Linka Glatter said the deal "secures gains on wages, global streaming residuals, safety, diversity and creative rights that build for the future and impact every category of member in our Guild."

DGA secures contract deal with studios amidst ongoing writers strike.

The Directors Guild of America and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers have reached a tentative three-year contract agreement, which includes pay and benefit gains, increases to global streaming residuals, and protections against the use of artificial intelligence. However, this does not necessarily mean that the ongoing writers strike or talks with the actors union will be resolved soon. The Writers Guild of America is entering its second month of the strike, while the Screen Actors Guild and American Federation of Television and Radio Artists are on the verge of authorizing a potential strike. Both the writers and actors guilds are seeking protections against AI use in their negotiations, in addition to increases in compensation for streamed content.

Directors Guild Reaches Tentative Labor Deal with Hollywood Studios and Streamers

The Directors Guild and Hollywood's top studios and streamers have reached a tentative deal on a new three-year labor contract, which includes gains in wages and benefits, streaming residuals, AI protections, and more. The deal would need to be ratified by union members, and the ratification vote has been set for Tuesday. The DGA's major push was to institute a streaming residual that reflects the growth of streaming platforms worldwide. The union was also looking to improve data transparency from studios and streamers, codify new safety and diversity, equity and inclusion measures, protect the union's health and pension plan, raise wage floors and support contractual creative rights for members.

Max's Credit Controversy Causes Chaos and Delays.

Warner Bros Discovery's recent rebranding of HBO Max to Max has caused controversy after altering the way writer and director credits appear in its content library. Directors and writers were grouped together under a "creators" designation instead of being distinct sections, leading to criticism from the Writers Guild and Directors Guild. Max issued an apology and promised to correct the credits, which were altered due to an oversight in the technical transition from HBO Max to Max.
