The studios' proposal was labeled as "generous" but was met with disappointment, and the day's discussions were described as "not great." Despite the challenges, both sides completed a full day of deliberations, which is seen as progress. The main sticking point remains revenue sharing, with the studios rejecting the idea.

Progress Made in Writers Guild and Studios Bargaining Session, Deal Expected Soon

The latest bargaining session between the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) concluded without a deal, but more talks are expected on Friday.

Both parties made moves on these issues, but there is still work to be done. The negotiations, which lasted from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., involved major Hollywood executives and sparked optimism for progress. The ongoing WGA strike is nearing the union's longest strike in history, and the addition of the SAG-AFTRA strike has tested labor solidarity across the industry.
