My college DC, who wants to go into TV writing and acting, has followed this closely and said it looks as if the strike will affect any promotional appearances or interviews. The massive San Diego Comic Con is 10 days away and it's a big deal for casts to attend to promote movies and shows at SDCC (not just "comic" material, all the big shows and movies promote at SDCC). DC is wondering what could be left of the event, if all the SAG-AFTRA mem bers don't turn up to do it.

There are many other fan conventions where actors and writers appear, going on all through the year, and I wonder what happens with those. Unlike SDCC, these cons are for shows no longer on the air, so there's no new season to promote, just a lot of Q&As for fans and fun. But DC thinks those too may be affected if the actors appearing at them could be viewed as "promoting" streaming of these older shows. Waiting to hear on this aspect. Some actors make part of their income (in an uncertain gig industry) by doing fan conventions, so losing that work would affect them for sure.

DC noted that the international Barbie press junket seems to be largely done, not sure about the U.S. But Oppenheimer, the press junket was only starting and suddenly got moved up to the past few days. Sounds like after midnight tonight, no more press for either film, which might hurt Oppenheimer. [/quote]
