The union would like performers "to share in the rewards of a successful show, without bearing any of the risk," the group that lobbies for studios says.

To clarify a point I haven’t seen brought up yet; lead actor contracts run the gamut on how they’re paid. If I recall correctly, Scarlett Johansson sued Disney for breach of contract when it offered the movie Black Widow on its Disney+ streaming service while it was still showing in cinemas. Johansson's lawsuit argued that Disney violated her contract by debuting the film online and in theaters, which cost her up to $50 million since her salary was largely based on box-office performance.

So essentially, this is covering the “creative accounting” studios use to pay their actors as little as possible.
