More specifics
A week before Barbie, starring Margot Robbie, opened in theaters on July 21, the strike started on July 14. Making over a billion dollars worldwide, the Greta Gerwig film in which she and Ryan Gosling portrayed Mattel dolls was a critical and commercial success.
Numerous Hollywood films and promotional tours have been put on hold as a result of the current strike. To ensure that their members received fair talks with studios and streaming services, the members of the Screen Actors Guild – American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) went on strike.
Margot had already been questioned by Sky News while giving interviews during the London premiere as to whether she would support the strike. She said “Absolutely,” adding “I very much am in support of all the unions and I’m a part of SAG, so I would absolutely stand by them.”
