The fall festival circuit during the history-making double union strike. It’s unclear how interim agreements — either signed or not — will affect a feature’s potential for pickup.

There is the question of whether AMPTP studios will be looking to buy given lack of new content, or if they will abstain?

In the weeks leading up to the festival, there was chatter about how studios, including Netflix, had been messaging that they would not be buying projects that had signed interim agreements.

If a streamer did sign on to these agreements, they would indeed be signing on to SAG-AFTRA’s requirement that actors for streaming projects receive 2 percent of subscription revenue produced by those projects, as defined by metrics from Parrot Analytics.
