LOS ANGELES — The Screen Actors Guild and the Hollywood studios said Friday they have reached a tentative deal on movie and primetime TV- show productions, capping a year-long battle that ended with the Guild giving up its fight for better Internet compensation.
The Guild said its leaders would recommend approval by the board and ratification by its members, which could be completed next month. The contract would replace one that had expired in June.
The new deal will expire on June 30, 2011, according to two people who were briefed on the contract. The date means SAG’s contract will expire about the same time as other unions, maintaining the threat of a joint strike.
