The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers: The collective face of the major studios, which enters into negotiations with Unions in Hollywood and takes a hard line against labor.
During the 2007 Writers' Strike the AMPTP was led by Nick Counter and represented the interests of essentially the same set of studios as the Motion Picture Association of America:
- Twentieth Century Fox (Also Fox)
- CBS
- Paramount/Viacom (which shares a corporate parent with CBS)
- Sony (owners of Columbia Pictures)
- Universal (also NBC)
- Disney (also ABC)
- Warner Bros.
- Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
- Lionsgate
During the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, the AMPTP was led by Carol Lombardini and represented a variety of traditional studios, streaming services, and corporate owners. These included:
- Netflix
- Amazon (owner of the Prime Video streaming service and its buyout of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer)
- Apple (through its streaming service, Apple TV+)
- Disney (which had acquired Twentieth Century Fox in 2018)
- Hulu (co-owned by Disney and NBCUniversal)
- Warner Bros. Discovery (formed from a 2022 merger of Warner Bros. and Discovery, and including brands like HBO and Max)
- NBCUniversal, with its streaming service Peacock
- Paramount
- Sony
AMPTP contracts also cover nearly every studio or production house in Hollywood, but the minor studios are not represented in AMPTP decision-making, and frequently sign separate agreements with the unions during prolonged strikes. These agreements are superseded by the contracts that are ultimately agreed to at the end of these strikes.
