Scott Pilgrim vs. Netflix

The film will be released with Netflix. The streaming giant has been subject to criticism for several reasons in recent months. The platform cracked down on password sharing, forcing families spread between multiple households to pay extra fees to share accounts or have to pay to star separate accounts entirely.

Outside of passwordsgate, the streamer has been under scrutiny since May amid the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Writers on popular programs claim that the network hires “mini rooms” to skirt job security for screenwriters, and actors claim that they are paid slim to no residuals. Low or a lack of residual payments can lead to a lack of insurance coverage for actors.

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - JULY 13: A sign reads 'Unions Stand Together' as SAG-AFTRA members walk the picket line in solidarity with striking WGA (Writers Guild of America) workers outside Netflix offices on July 13, 2023 in Los Angeles, California. Members of SAG-AFTRA, Hollywood’s largest union which represents actors and other media professionals, will likely go on strike after a midnight deadline over contract negotiations with studios expired. The strike could shut down Hollywood productions completely with writers in the third month of their strike against Hollywood studios.
