‘Am I crossing picket lines if I see a movie?’ and other Hollywood strike fan questions answered

By The Associated Press

You watch movies. You watch TV. And now you’re wondering how the pitched battle — with Hollywood’s actors and writers on one side, and studios and streaming services on the other — will affect you. The Associated Press has answers. Yes, you can still go see “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer.” No, the guilds don’t want you to cancel Netflix — yet. No consumer boycott has been called. Your favorite shows will almost certainly be delayed and you should know that Comic-Con ticket won’t come with starry panels this year. And TV fans should circle Sept. 18 —  the scheduled date for the Emmy Awards — in pencil. The strike may affect the show.
