Hollywood Strike Threatens Movie Theaters and Stocks, Despite 'Barbenheimer' Premiere

The upcoming premieres of "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer" may not be enough to boost movie theater stocks as a strike by Hollywood writers and actors casts uncertainty over the industry. JPMorgan Chase & Co. downgraded its recommendation on Cinemark Holdings Inc. due to the strike's impact on film supply. The lackluster summer movie season and underperformance of recent releases like "Mission: Impossible" have already dampened theater stocks. The simultaneous strikes by writers and actors, the first in six decades, further threaten the industry's recovery from the pandemic. Theater operators and media companies have slumped, while streaming services like Netflix Inc. stand to benefit. The duration of the strikes will determine their impact on media companies, with some analysts predicting a longer-than-expected duration.
