The DGA summary had one notable omission: what about ad-supported streaming for theatrical movies? The last we heard from the AMPTP, their offer was zippo. Nada. Nothing. “It’s promotional.” Riiiiight.
I’m happy to report that the DGA deal locks in a rate of 1.2% of 100% of distributor’s gross on ad-supported streaming for theatrical films. That’s fantastic news.
Edited to Add: Some of you have been asking how gross works via ad-supported streaming. I’m trying to find out. It’s part of the television streaming formula too, which goes to 2% of distrib. gross after benchmarks. I’ll let you know whatever I can find out.
