In a far far cry from the severe strikes of three years ago, the studios and streamers tonight heaped nothing but praise and good will on the Hollywood guilds as the DGA became the final of the Big Three to approve a new four-year contract

“The AMPTP congratulates the DGA on ratifying its new contract,” an Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers spokesperson told Deadline late Thursday as members of the Christopher Nolan-led Directors Guild of America “overwhelmingly” voted to ratify a longer than traditional deal. “This agreement delivers historic contributions to the guild’s health plan, meaningful wage and residuals improvements, and strong job protections,” the Greg Hessinger-run AMPTP added.

Despite initial opposition from the WGA, SAG-AFTRA and the DGA to anything more than a three-year deal, tonight big vote by the almost 20,000 members of the Director’s union is a smooth victory for the AMPTP in an otherwise rocky industry.

The tentative DGA deal was revealed on June 9 after around a month of talks between the parties. Less than a week later, the Guild’s National Board of Directors unanimously voted to recommend ratification to the membership. Today, the majority of voting members said “Yes.”

“Throughout this process, our focus was clear: protect our members, strengthen the Guild, and address the challenges facing our industry during a period of profound change,” DGA brass told members Thursday after ratification was achieved. “This incredible show of support from our membership for this new contract shows the strength of our unity and our solidarity.”

Unlike in a number of contentious past negotiation rounds, the DGA ratification today of the AMPTP deal finds the Guilds all signed off before their current contracts had expired. In the case of the DGA themselves, their current contract was set to end on June 30.
