Part 6/7:
The strike has underscored a broader shift in Hollywood—one where financial troubles, technological changes, and shifting audience preferences are reshaping the industry structure. Studios may have to give up an even larger share of their increasingly shrinking profits to writers, who, in turn, are demanding their fair share during a time of industry upheaval.
However, some critics argue that the strike has revealed the limitations of the current writer guilds, suggesting that their demands for better residuals, job security, and AI regulation could lead to spending more of Hollywood's diminishing revenue on talent, potentially affecting future productions.
