According to Deadline, Thursday's session, like Wednesday, was attended by the so-called "Gang of Four" major studio bosses -- Netflix's Ted Sarandos, Disney's Bob Iger, Universal's Donna Langley and Warner Bros/Discovery's David Zaslav.

"There is no requirement that the companies negotiate through the AMPTP.
