Barbie Surpasses $775M Worldwide and Nears Billion-Dollar Box Office Milestone

Barbie Surpasses $775M Worldwide and Nears Billion-Dollar Box Office Milestone

The Greta Gerwig-directed movie Barbie has been setting the box office on fire, crossing the $775 million mark globally. It is on the brink of entering the coveted billion-dollar club. Warner Bros. is beaming with pride as the female-driven film captivates audiences worldwide.

In its second weekend, Barbie added a staggering $131.5 million to its box office haul. The film secured $93 million domestically and an impressive $122.2 million from 70 international markets. With the domestic earnings reaching $351.4 million and the overseas tally standing at an equally impressive $423.1 million, the film’s worldwide gross has soared to an incredible $774.5 million. This feat was achieved in 12 days since its midweek release in various overseas regions.

The success of Barbie has surpassed expectations, fueling speculations that the film might become the first Hollywood movie directed solely by a woman to reach the $1 billion milestone. This would beat the record previously held by Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman, which grossed $822 million (not adjusted for inflation). Notably, it would be the second film in 2023 to join the billion-dollar club, following Universal’s The Super Mario Bros. Movie ($1.34 billion).

Critics who predicted a sharp decline in Barbie’s second weekend were proven wrong, as the movie only saw a 43 percent drop in North America and even less overseas, at 32 percent.

The film’s success has extended even to China, where Barbie generated $25 million in box office revenue by Sunday, despite a modest $8.2 million opening. The unexpected surge in China’s interest has raised hopes for a successful exit in Japan next month.

Among all markets, the U.K. stands as the top performer with $61.6 million in earnings, surpassing the first ten days of the final Harry Potter film. In Brazil, Barbie has already become Warner Bros.’s highest-grossing film with an impressive $33.5 million.

Barbie’s regional success has also been significant, as it now ranks as Warner Bros.’ second-biggest movie of all time after Joker. Surpassing substantial titles such as the final Harry Potter film, Batman v. Superman, and Aquaman, the film has also enjoyed a steady 22 percent drop in Europe.

Interestingly, the simultaneous success of Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer has contributed to what is now called the “Barbenheimer effect,” providing a boost to the summer box office. Oppenheimer, from Universal Pictures, experienced an impressive second weekend, dropping only 44 percent in North America and earning $46.2 million, becoming the largest second weekend for an R-rated film, surpassing Deadpool 2’s record of $43.5 million. With a domestic total of $174.6 million and a foreign haul of $226.3 million, Oppenheimer has reached $400.4 million worldwide, ranking as Nolan’s sixth-biggest film.

In addition, Oppenheimer has become Nolan’s most prominent film ever in 28 markets and his most successful non-superhero title in 39 markets.

As both Barbie and Oppenheimer continue to flourish at the box office, the Barbenheimer effect showcases the remarkable impact of female-led cinema combined with the allure of Christopher Nolan’s unique storytelling, delivering an extraordinary summer movie season.

Actors Strike Causes Sony to Postpone Release Dates of ‘Beyond the Spider-Verse’ and ‘Kraven the Hunter

Actors Strike Causes Sony to Postpone Release Dates of ‘Beyond the Spider-Verse’ and ‘Kraven the Hunter

Sony Pictures has significantly changed its movie release schedule, affecting two highly anticipated films due to the ongoing SAG-AFTRA actors strike. 

The live-action Marvel movie “Kraven the Hunter,” featuring Aaron Taylor-Johnson as the ruthless hunter and Spider-Man’s arch-nemesis, will be released on Labor Day weekend in 2024 instead of its original October 2023 date. The animated trilogy finale “Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse,” previously slated for March 2024, has been postponed indefinitely until the strike is resolved.

The decision to delay “Kraven the Hunter” was primarily driven by the need to give Aaron Taylor-Johnson and the rest of the cast, including Oscar winners Ariana DeBose and Russell Crowe, sufficient time to promote the film. In light of the strike, actors have chosen not to participate in promotional activities for major studio projects.

As for “Beyond the Spider-Verse,” the film faced delays as no voice lines had been recorded for the sequel, “Across the Spider-Verse.” Consequently, the production of the animated movie remains suspended until further notice, making it impossible to set a new release date.

Sony has a vested interest in the success of “Beyond the Spider-Verse” as its predecessor, “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse,” received widespread acclaim and became the studio’s highest-grossing animated film, with a global box office revenue of $677 million. The positioning of “Beyond the Spider-Verse” on the 2024 or 2025 release schedule is highly anticipated by moviegoers eager to see how the trilogy’s cliffhanger will be resolved.

The one-year postponement of “Kraven the Hunter” may cause concern among cinema owners, who are already apprehensive about the impact of the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes on the film release calendar. As seen during the COVID-19 pandemic, when one studio adjusts its release dates, others follow suit.

Notably, “Kraven” was initially planned to receive support from Imax Auditoriums in October. However, the decision to delay the film came just days after Imax CEO Rich Gelfond expressed confidence that the strike would not affect films backed by his company. Gelfond cited Warner Bros.’ “Dune: Part Two” as an example when discussing his expectations in an earnings call.

In addition to the changes related to the strikes, Sony also announced other adjustments to its release slate. The upcoming sequel to “Ghostbusters: Afterlife” will now hit theaters during Easter weekend in 2024, while the next installments in the “Bad Boys” and “Venom” franchises are scheduled for summer 2024 releases. These changes are sure to have an impact on the overall film release landscape in the coming years.

Barbie Continues to Soar with Record-Breaking Second Weekend, while ‘Haunted Mansion’ Fails to Haunt the Box Office

Barbie Continues to Soar with Record-Breaking Second Weekend, while ‘Haunted Mansion’ Fails to Haunt the Box Office

In the latest box office news, ‘Barbie‘ is a shining star, breaking records with a staggering $93 million in its second weekend at the North American box office. Meanwhile, ‘Haunted Mansion’ had a lackluster start, earning only $24.2 million for Disney. Let’s delve into the details of these recent box office hits and misses.

Barbie, a female-led film directed by Greta Gerwig, has exceeded all expectations and shattered box office records. Despite predictions of a rapid decline after its remarkable debut, the movie showcased incredible staying power, experiencing only a modest 43 percent drop in ticket sales. This resulted in an impressive domestic total of $351.4 million by the end of Sunday.

Internationally, Barbie continued to paint the box office pink, grossing an additional $122.2 million, bringing its foreign tally to $423.1 million. Combining the global earnings, Barbie’s total stands at a dreamy $774.5 million, positioning it to join the exclusive billion-dollar club. It will be the second film of 2023 to achieve this feat, following Universal’s ‘The Super Mario Bros. Movie,’ which collected an impressive $1.34 billion worldwide.

Interestingly, Barbie is also enjoying significant success in China, where it amassed $25 million in earnings, surpassing initial expectations, and could reach $40 million. The United Kingdom boasts the highest salaries for Barbie, with a whopping $61.6 million, outpacing the first ten days of the final Harry Potter film. Additionally, it has become Warner Bros.’s most successful film ever in Brazil, with an early total of $33.5 million.

Moreover, Barbie now holds the title for the biggest first week in Warner Bros. history, surpassing the legendary ‘The Dark Knight’ directed by Christopher Nolan.

On the other hand, Nolan’s ‘Oppenheimer,’ the cinematic counterpart of the Barbenheimer effect, remains a box office force, maintaining a solid performance during its second weekend. The biographical drama about J. Robert Oppenheimer, the father of the atomic bomb, grossed an estimated $46.2 million, marking only a 44 percent decline in ticket sales. With a global haul of $400.4 million, including $174.6 million domestically and $226.3 million internationally, ‘Oppenheimer’ ranks as one of Nolan’s top-grossing films, ahead of ‘Tenet’ and ‘Batman Begins.’

Moreover, ‘Oppenheimer’ has been a boon for Imax, as it became the second-fastest film to reach $80 million in global Imax ticket sales. Due to its success, the film’s run has been extended through the weekend of Aug. 11-13, providing audiences with more opportunities to experience the masterpiece.

In contrast, ‘Haunted Mansion’ failed to meet expectations, debuting with a disappointing $24.2 million. The live-action family film, directed by Justin Simien, took on the challenge of transforming Disneyland’s iconic attraction into a supernatural horror-comedy. Unfortunately, it faced tough competition from Barbie and suffered from mediocre reviews, leading to a lackluster performance.

Disney remains hopeful that the movie’s good audience exit scores on PostTrak and a B+ CinemaScore will help it gain momentum and longevity, similar to Pixar’s ‘Elemental,’ which enjoyed an enviable multiple after a slow start. However, both ‘Haunted Mansion’ and ‘Elemental’ were expensive to produce, adding pressure on their box office performance. ‘Haunted Mansion’ alone cost at least $150 million before marketing.

Despite its underwhelming start, ‘Haunted Mansion’ did manage to earn $9.1 million from international markets, resulting in a global bow of $33.3 million.

Elsewhere at the box office, Angel Studios’ sleeper summer hit ‘Sound of Freedom’ continues to impress with a third-place finish and a domestic total of $149 million. Paramount’s ‘Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One’ faces tough competition from Barbenheimer but remains strong overseas, clearing the $300 million mark with a global total of $448.5 million.

Additionally, A24’s new specialty horror film, ‘Talk to Me,’ opened better than expected with $10 million, adding another success to A24’s roster.

In conclusion, Barbie’s reign at the box office continues with an extraordinary second weekend, while ‘Haunted Mansion’ struggles to spook audiences. Nolan’s ‘Oppenheimer’ also stands as a formidable box office force, delighting Imax audiences worldwide. The box office competition remains fierce as the summer movie season unfolds, leaving audiences eager to see what future weekends will bring.

SAG-AFTRA Defends Interim Agreements as “Crucial to Our Strategic Approach” Amid Ongoing Debate

SAG-AFTRA Defends Interim Agreements as “Crucial to Our Strategic Approach” Amid Ongoing Debate

Amidst growing concerns from prominent members regarding SAG-AFTRA‘s interim agreements, the union leadership has come forward to justify granting these pacts. These agreements allow the continuation of film and TV productions during the ongoing performers’ strike, specifically for independent productions.

In a message sent to its members on Sunday evening, the union’s TV/theatrical negotiating committee emphasized that these agreements are a “crucial part of our strategic approach” during the 2023 negotiations and strike. They clarified that most projects granted interim contracts are independent of the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) member companies, whose unresolved negotiations with the union led to the current strike. However, some exceptions are being made for projects with “extraordinary circumstances mandated by legal considerations, such as Tehran.” (SAG-AFTRA’s national executive director, Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, previously explained that Tehran, an Apple TV+-distributed series produced by an Israeli company and filmed in Greece, is subject to “multiple national laws” on striking, which influenced the decision to grant the waiver.)

According to the negotiating committee, the terms and conditions of these interim agreements “reflect” what SAG-AFTRA is seeking to achieve in its ongoing TV/theatrical contract negotiations with the AMPTP. Thus, these agreements enable members to work for companies not affiliated with the AMPTP and demonstrate that “the wage increases and other terms, which the AMPTP has so far rejected, are indeed reasonable and appropriate.” (However, if SAG-AFTRA reaches a deal with significant entertainment companies before distributing projects with waivers, the terms and conditions of these interim agreements will ultimately align with the final words of the eventual sale with the AMPTP.)

Moreover, the negotiating committee argues that these pacts are essential in directing production budgets toward union-covered projects that employ union members rather than supporting non-union foreign productions. As a result, they encourage independent producers to apply for these interim agreements and urge SAG-AFTRA members to work on projects that obtain such contracts, along with other permissible work.

The message comes shortly after Viola Davis announced her decision to step away from the MRC film G20, which was set to be distributed by Amazon (MRC is not an AMPTP member, but Amazon, as the producer, is). SAG-AFTRA granted the film an interim agreement, but Davis said, “I do not feel that it would be appropriate for this production to move forward during the strike.”

Previously, Sarah Silverman had also expressed concerns about interim agreements, highlighting that these independent projects could be sold to companies like Netflix or Apple, whose production subsidiaries belong to the AMPTP. She argued that “the strike ends when they come to the table, and we make a deal in agreement.”

Addressing this concern, SAG-AFTRA’s negotiating committee reassured members that they understand the potential issue of interim agreement content being distributed by struck companies. However, they are confident that the terms of these agreements, particularly the streaming revenue share, will render distribution through AMPTP platforms unfeasible once an industrywide deal is reached. (One of SAG-AFTRA’s proposals for companies this year was for streaming films or TV shows’ casts to receive a portion of streaming subscription revenue based on the title’s success.)

The negotiating committee further emphasized that these agreements would not “prolong” the strike but instead exert “competitive pressure” on AMPTP companies.

As of now, SAG-AFTRA has granted interim agreements to various projects, including A24’s Death of a Unicorn, starring Paul Rudd and Jenna Ortega, Mother Mary, featuring Anne Hathaway and Michaela Coel, as well as Hammerstone Studios’ Flight Risk, with Mark Wahlberg. The television series The Chosen from Out of Order Studios and Balcony 9 Productions’ Bride Hard, starring Rebel Wilson, have also received waivers.

Travis Scott Takes Center Stage in Harmony Korine’s Latest Film, ‘Aggro Dr1ft.’

Travis Scott, the renowned rapper, and musician, is making waves in the film industry with his latest project, ‘Aggro Dr1ft,’ directed by the talented Harmony Korine. They are following the exciting announcement of their collaboration on Circus Maximus; the dynamic duo is set to unveil their new masterpiece at the prestigious 2023 Venice Film Festival. The 80-minute film promises to captivate audiences with its gripping storyline and Scott’s captivating performance in the lead role.

Scheduled for competition in the Fiction category at the 80th annual festival, ‘Aggro Dr1ft’ is generating significant buzz as fans eagerly anticipate its debut from August 3 to September 9. While details about the entire cast are yet to be revealed, the festival’s website hints at including Spanish actor and filmmaker Jordi Mollà as one of the main characters alongside the talented Scott.

Scott has been tormenting his followers on Instagram with intriguing content, offering glimpses of movie props, including body armor, guns, and masks, along with behind-the-scenes snapshots of director Harmony Korine. The source of this content remains a mystery, as it could be related to either ‘Aggro Dr1ft’ or ‘Circus Maximus,’ a surreal and psychedelic journey that Korine co-directed with Scott himself, as well as Gaspar Noe, Valdimar Jóhannsson, Nicolas Winding Refn, and Kahlil Joseph. In anticipation of ‘Circus Maximus hitting AMC theaters soon, Scott has already treated his fans to the film’s first thrilling trailer, showcased on his Instagram.

Hints of Travis Scott’s collaboration with A24 emerged in August 2021 when he shared an intriguing photo of a script titled ‘Utopia.’ With his album ‘Utopia’ and ‘Circus Maximus’ arriving on July 28, fans are curious whether ‘Aggro Dr1ft’ will also have any connections to the LP.

For those who missed it, don’t forget to check out Travis Scott’s latest track, “KPOP,” a must-listen for all La Flame enthusiasts.

‘Barbie’ Opens to Jaw-Dropping $162M, ‘Oppenheimer’ Gets $82.4M

Box Office Sensation: ‘Barbie‘ Shatters Records with $162M Opening, ‘Oppenheimer’ Impresses at $82.4M.

The summer box office has exploded with excitement!

Greta Gerwig’s empowering film ‘Barbie’ has set a groundbreaking record, opening to a remarkable $162 million domestically. This figure, usually reserved for male-driven superhero blockbusters or major franchise films like the final Harry Potter installment, exceeded all expectations initially set at $90 million to $110 million. ‘Barbie’ became a driving force behind one of the most successful weekends in cinema history, even surpassing Sunday’s already-stupendous gross of $155 million.

The film, bringing to life the iconic Mattel fashion doll, also wowed audiences in international markets, amassing an impressive $182 million from 70 countries. It claimed the top opening for a Warner Bros. title in key territories, including Mexico ($22.3 million), Brazil ($15.9 million), and Australia ($14.6 million). In the U.K., it secured a staggering $22.9 million, marking the studio’s highest opening since the pandemic. While predictions suggested a modest performance in Asian markets, ‘Barbie’ exceeded expectations in China with $8.2 million.

Within North America, ‘Barbie’ achieved the most significant domestic opening ever for a film directed by a woman, a remarkable feat. It surpassed previous records set by Patty Jenkins ‘Wonder Woman’ with $103.3 million in 2017 and ‘Captain Marvel’ with $153 million in 2019, directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck.

Additionally, ‘Barbie’ smashed several other records, including claiming the top spot for 2023’s biggest opening, outpacing ‘The Super Mario Bros. Movie’ ($146.3 million). It also outperformed major releases like ‘Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse’ ($120.7 million), ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3’ ($118.4 million), and ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’ ($106.9 million), which struggled to breach the $100 million mark.

For its lead stars, Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, ‘Barbie’ marked their most substantial opening to date, and it became the highest-grossing three-day debut for a toy-based movie, surpassing ‘Transformers: Dark of the Moon’ ($115.9 million). Furthermore, ‘Barbie’ delivered Warner Bros.’s largest non-DC franchise or sequel opening.

As ‘Barbie’ dazzled the box office, Christopher Nolan’s ‘Oppenheimer,’ a three-hour R-rated historical drama centered on J. Robert Oppenheimer and the development of the atomic bomb, also made an impressive impact. Surpassing expectations, the film grossed $82.4 million domestically, even higher than the earlier estimate of $80.5 million. This marked Nolan’s third-biggest domestic debut, trailing behind ‘The Dark Knight Rises ($160.9 million) and ‘The Dark Knight’ ($158.4 million), without accounting for inflation. ‘Oppenheimer’ is set to outperform other recent summer releases, including ‘The Flash,’ ‘Elemental,’ and ‘Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.’

Interestingly, ‘Barbie’ attracted a predominantly female audience, accounting for 68 percent of viewers, while ‘Oppenheimer’ appealed more to male audiences, making up 64 percent of its viewership. Given its extended runtime and historical subject matter, Oppenheimer’s success was unexpected.

Internationally, ‘Oppenheimer’ saw strong performance, earning $98 million from 78 markets, exceeding the earlier estimate of $93.7 million. Notably, the film secured Nolan’s biggest non-superhero opening in 55 markets. With a global debut of $180.4 million against a production budget of $100 million, ‘Oppenheimer’ emerged as a formidable box-office contender.

This weekend’s one-two punch of ‘Barbie’ and ‘Oppenheimer’ created a phenomenon dubbed “Barbenheimer,” providing a much-needed boost to the film industry and box office, which was still recovering from the impact of the pandemic. This unprecedented weekend became the first in history where one movie surpassed $100 million while another grossed over $50 million.

Revenue-wise, this blockbuster weekend ranks as the fourth-highest of all time, a feat not seen since the success of ‘Avengers: Endgame,’ according to Comscore. Combined ticket sales approached a staggering $305 million, marking a rare and exceptional achievement. This surge in box office earnings comes as a welcome relief amid concerns about the ongoing writers and actors strike, which paralyzed Hollywood and worried theater owners about potential delays of fall and winter releases if actors could not promote their films.

Both ‘Barbie’ and ‘Oppenheimer’ earned stellar A CinemaScores from enthusiastic audiences in the U.S., with critics’ scores on Rotten Tomatoes equally impressive — 90 percent for ‘Barbie’ and 93 percent for ‘Oppenheimer.’

Cinemark, one of the country’s major theater chains, reported this weekend as their biggest summer weekend ever, attributing this success to the pull of ‘Barbie’ and ‘Oppenheimer.’

Wanda Gierhart Fearing, Cinemark’s Chief Marketing and Content Officer, expressed delight in the audience response, stating, “People love coming together to experience great storytelling in a movie theater, as proven yet again by the sheer volume of consumers who visited our locations to see Barbie and Oppenheimer during opening weekend. It appears Barbie is everything, and Christopher Nolan fans turned out in droves to see his newest masterpiece in the larger-than-life theatrical format he intended. Congratulations to our studio partners and the entire creative community for delivering films that generate these record-breaking results.”

The exceptional performance of “Barbenheimer” has posed a challenge for Tom Cruise’s latest installment, ‘Mission: Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One.’ The film faced a steep 64 percent drop in its second weekend, grossing $19.5 million and bringing its domestic total to $118.8 million. However, it fared better overseas, earning an additional $55 million from 72 markets, bringing its foreign total to $252.1 million and its global tally to $370.9 million.

Paramount’s seventh ‘Mission: Impossible’ film encountered competition as it lost Imax screens to ‘Oppenheimer,’ in addition to ceding premium large format screens to either ‘Oppenheimer’ or ‘Barbie.’ The upcharge for Imax and premium extensive format screenings significantly affects the film’s box office revenue.

Meanwhile, Angel Studios’ faith-based political thriller ‘Sound of Freedom’ had another robust weekend, potentially surpassing ‘Dead Reckoning’ with an estimated $20.1 million, reaching a cumulative total of $123.4 million in the U.S. However, Monday’s actual figures will confirm the official ranking.

‘Sound of Freedom’ stars Jim Caviezel from ‘The Passion of the Christ’ as real-life figure Tim Ballard, a former Department of Homeland Security agent on a mission to bring child traffickers to justice. Despite discussions on QAnon message boards, Angel Studios clarified that ‘Sound of Freedom’ is not a QAnon movie. Although Caviezel had spoken at a QAnon convention in Las Vegas in late 2021, the film focuses on telling a compelling and vital story.

The summer box office has witnessed a momentous weekend with the unstoppable duo of ‘Barbie’ and ‘Oppenheimer,’ providing a much-needed boost to the industry, marking a historical milestone, and thrilling audiences worldwide.

NYC Actors Strike: Artificial Intelligence, Residuals are Biggest Complaints (REPORT)

NYC Actors Strike: Artificial Intelligence, Residuals are Biggest Complaints (REPORT)

The SAG-AFTRA strike kicked off with a powerful demonstration in New York City, where prominent actors and members of other unions gathered to advocate for fair pay, AI rights, and residuals from streaming platforms. Four simultaneous protests took place outside the offices of Netflix, Warner Bros. Discovery, Amazon, Paramount, and NBCUniversal.

Under the scorching sun and sporadic rain, picketers chanted and rallied near Union Square, Hudson Yards, Times Square, and 30 Rock. The protest attracted prominent figures like Susan Sarandon, Jason Sudeikis, Peppermint, and David Krumholtz.

Fair pay, particularly residuals from streamers, and using artificial intelligence were the top issues actors emphasized during the picket lines. Susan Sarandon stressed the importance of addressing these issues immediately to prevent irreversible consequences.

Merritt Wever, star of “Unbelievable,” expressed the need for a contract to support actors professionally and allow them to continue working in the arts. Several actors, including Chris Henry Coffey and Gary Farris, voiced their concerns about wage stagnation and the lack of baseline salaries.

Artificial intelligence emerged as a significant point of contention during the negotiations, especially concerning background actors. Union members, like Jonathan Kaine and Kelly Klein, highlighted the necessity of protecting actors’ likenesses and maintaining control over their image in the age of AI.

With both the Writers Guild and SAG-AFTRA now on strike, there is a sense of solidarity among the unions. Lauren Patten, a Tony Award-winning actor, emphasized that the central issues of concern were pay structures for streaming and protections against AI.

Despite the challenges posed by the strike, many actors like Hiram Delgado and Lauren Patten are prepared to persist and seek the respect they deserve from the studios. Recent comments by Disney’s Bob Iger dismissing actors’ demands have only strengthened the resolve of those walking the picket lines.

The striking union members hope to progress in negotiations with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) to ensure a fair and respectful agreement. They believe that addressing these concerns is vital for the entertainment industry and all workers impacted by AI and changing contract structures.

Throughout the strike, actors are determined to find alternate avenues to express their art, showing their resilience and unwavering solidarity. The message from the picket lines is clear: basic respect for their work is essential, and they will continue their fight until their demands are met.

Sean Gunn Calls Out AMPTP for Lack of Residuals From ‘Gilmore Girls’

Sean Gunn Calls Out AMPTP for Lack of Residuals From ‘Gilmore Girls’

During the initial day of the SAG-AFTRA strike, Sean Gunn, renowned actor and brother of DC head James Gunn, took the opportunity to voice his frustration with the AMPTP for the absence of residuals he has received for his role in the beloved series ‘Gilmore Girls.’

Gunn, who portrayed the quirky Stars Hollow resident Kirk in the show, shared his concerns with The Hollywood Reporter, mainly targeting Netflix, the streaming platform where ‘Gilmore Girls’ has continued to thrive since its debut in 2000. Despite the show’s undeniable success, Gunn claims he was not adequately compensated for his contributions.

“I was on a television show called Gilmore Girls for a long time that has brought in massive profits for Netflix,” Gunn explained. “It has been one of their most popular shows for a very long time, over a decade. It gets streamed over and over and over again, and I see almost none of the revenue that comes into that.”

The issue lies with residuals, which should come from Warner Bros. Discovery, the studio responsible for producing and licensing the series to Netflix. However, regardless of how many viewers tune in to watch the show, the actors, including Gunn, are paid the same fixed amount by the studio.

Gunn expressed dismay towards co-CEO Ted Sarandos and executive chair Reed Hastings, citing their multimillion-dollar compensations. Although he mistakenly attributed the large sums to bonuses, their earnings primarily stemmed from stock options, according to SEC filings.

In light of the current situation, Gunn believes studios and streaming services must reconsider their business models and fairly distribute wealth among those who contribute to the success of their content. Failure to do so may result in the industry facing significant challenges.

‘Gilmore Girls’ originally aired on The WB and later on The CW, gaining immense popularity when it joined Netflix’s library nearly a decade ago. However, due to how deals are structured, actors are not reaping the benefits of the show’s streaming success.

Beyond residuals and performance-based incentives, Gunn emphasized the importance of addressing artificial intelligence and revenue sharing in contract negotiations. He stressed the need for equitable compensation for using an actor’s likeness and reevaluating the revenue-sharing model to ensure fairness.

In light of the collapsed contract negotiations between the actors’ union and studios/streamers, the Writers Guild has joined the picket lines, leading to Hollywood’s first double strike in six decades.

Sean Gunn’s vocal stance highlights the growing concerns among actors about fair compensation and equitable treatment in the rapidly evolving entertainment industry. As the strike continues, it remains to be seen how studios and streaming platforms will respond to the demands of their valued talent.
