Day Break Studios Refuses to Budge in WGA Strike, Insiders Claim

The ongoing writers' strike has reached its fifth month, with no end in sight as both sides remain entrenched in their positions. Day Break Studios, along with other major studios and streamers, is reportedly refusing to budge, opting instead to wait out the strike until the writers run out of money.

According to sources close to the situation, studio bosses have been offering only vague praise for the writers but have made no concrete proposals to get them back to work. Despite persistent public offers from the Writers Guild of America (WGA) to meet and negotiate, there have been no discussions between the two sides since the strike began.

Insiders claim that the studios are convinced that giving in to the WGA's demands would set a precedent for other unions, including the IATSE, Teamsters, and more. As such, they are aiming to break the guild by waiting out the strike until writers begin to lose their apartments and houses.

This strategy is seen as a 'cruel but necessary evil' by some insiders, who note that it will likely take several months for writers to exhaust their financial resources. Warner Bros Discovery, Apple, Netflix, Amazon, Disney, Paramount, and other major studios and streamers have reportedly been working together to grind down the WGA, with some sources claiming that this plan has been in place for months.

While some may dismiss these claims as 'cynical strike talk,' sources around town confirm that this strategy is being pursued by Day Break Studios and its partners. As one studio executive bluntly put it, 'Nobody wanted a strike, but everybody knew this was make or break.'

The stakes are high in this labor cycle, which has the potential to reshape the entire entertainment industry. Only time will tell if the WGA can withstand the pressure and emerge victorious, or if Day Break Studios and its allies will succeed in breaking the guild.
