  My apologies, I missed this from some other conversations. I'm not seeing any named sources on these quotes? Such that this doesn't change my prior, yet? To be clear, I fully expect there are some crappy individuals in the studios. But, having worked in big organizations before, it is trivial to get stupid quotes from middle management that somehow thinks they know the landscape completely. Consider, the "top-tier" producer quoted with "late October, for sure" as what the intention was. And that was just the timeline for supposedly having talks... Clearly overstating their hand, there. Seriously, they don't have a single named source there. Not even one that has a credible connection to actual leadership. This reads far more like people that have an inflated sense of self worth talking than it does those that are actually involved. Again, I'm not claiming that they are happy that they are having to renegotiate. They certainly had better terms before. I just don't buy the "gnashing of teeth" narrative.
