Warner Bros. is considering moving three highly anticipated movies to 2024 amid the two strikes happening in Hollywood: SAG-AFTRA and WGA.
While the SAG-AFTRA strike is active, actors are not allowed to promote any of their past or future projects, which means there will be no press tours or red carpet premieres.
Movie studios rely on having their A-List talent appearing on red carpets and giving interviews on talk shows to promote the films, so it’s very possible that some upcoming movies will hurt at the box office without the publicity campaigns.
This latest news, via Variety, is disheartening as some of these films that might be pushed were being released at the end of the year, so this might mean that movie studios are prepared for the strike to last through 2024.
Browse through the slideshow to see which three films might be delayed…
