Update: SoFi workers have voted 96% in favor of authorizing a strike, "meaning workers could walk off the job at any moment if their demands are not met." Negotiations continue Monday — but the first World Cup game at SoFi is one week from today
SoFi Stadium Workers Vote 96% to Authorize Strike Days Before FIFA World Cup

Cashiers, cooks, bartenders, and dishwashers could walk off the job at any moment as Legends Global and FIFA fail to reach agreement on pay, subcontracting limits, and worker safety 
LOS ANGELES — SoFi Stadium cashiers, dishwashers, cooks, bartenders, concessions workers, and food attendants have voted 96% in favor of authorizing a strike, meaning workers could walk off the job at any moment if their demands are not met. Negotiations are scheduled to continue Monday ahead of the USA v. Paraguay match on June 12th.
Living wage: Pay that reflects the true cost of living in Los Angeles, including premium pay for World Cup and other mega-events, and payment to a housing fund to build housing for hospitality workers.  
Limits on AI, technology, and subcontracting: Strong protections against the erosion of union jobs through unimpeded subcontracting and technology and automation
Right to strike if ICE comes to the workplace: Workers must have the right to walk off the job if federal immigration enforcement enters the stadium and creates a reasonable fear for their safety — no worker should have to choose between their job and their freedom.
Contract negotiations with stadium food service operator Legends Global and FIFA have not had significant progress on key economic and workplace safety issues.

Two years ago, "Civil War" opened to $25.5 million and set a box office record for A24. "Backrooms" is going to blow that away and take the No. 1 spot from "Mandalorian and Grogu" in the process. The future is now. My latest for @thewrap.com. #FilmSky #BoxOffice www.thewrap.com/creative-con...

Time to eat crow: I forecast a box office slowdown in the second half of May. I was wrong. This Memorial Day weekend matched the overall total of 2022, and it did it thanks to not one, not two, but SIX films. My latest box office analysis for @thewrap.com #FilmSky www.thewrap.com/industry-new...

AMPTP talks with SAG-AFTRA for two more weeks, then DGA, then back to SAG if a deal still isn't reached. Will be interesting to see if WGA's agreement to a four-year contract cycle allows the studios to push for the same with SAG and DGA through pattern bargaining www.thewrap.com/industry-new...

Couldn't possibly be because the Avatar films (the first two anyway) have more thought and care put into their narrative and the function every character and action serves to the plot than a single second of the Mario movies. No it's an AGENDA! (nvm that those critics liked the Sonic films🙄)

I can't understate how unusual it is for the WGA to reach a deal after just three weeks of talks. For the past several contract cycles, their talks with the AMPTP have been labor chess matches at best and bitter exchanges at worst. www.thewrap.com/industry-new...

Pretty happy with the #Oscars nominees this morning. Would have put in "It Was Just an Accident" for Best Picture over "Bugonia" but otherwise I like this list. Of course, the most joyless, insufferable online snobs are going to treat the "F1" nomination as an unforgivable stain on the Academy. 🙄

Two things happened: Avatar 3's drop was larger than expected, and Zootopia 2 became as big in China as Endgame. Perhaps some expected the former, but even knowing that Zootopia is big in China, I don't think anyone expected a $600M+ run for a US film there ever again. #FilmSky #BoxOffice

If there's anything I hope Filoni & Brennan do with Lucasfilm, it is that they lead the studio without fear. Because so much of how that studio has been run post-Last Jedi smacks of a prime directive of desperately trying to not anger the most unpleasable fanbase in pop culture.
