Hollywood A-listers are skipping out on San Diego Comic-Con this year as the SAG-AFTRA strike prohibits actors from promoting studio contracted work.
Typically, actor-focused panels make up between 25% to 30% of a regional comic-con's programming. At San Diego Comic-Con that percentage can be as high as 40%, industry experts told CNBC.
Wilder, who is attending his first San Diego Comic-Con this year, is also a panelist at the event for the X-Men Fandom Panel. He told CNBC that while his badge was comped by the convention, he paid out of pocket for his hotel and airfare, which tallied near $3,200 for him and his wife.
Chau has attended SDCC since 2008. He typically spends much of the convention photographing cosplay, attending comic panels and picking up an autograph or two. Chau's costs to visit San Diego and attend the convention are similar to Wilder's, but with the added $285 for a four-day badge. "I'm concerned with all those big panels canceled, how that's going to affect traffic flow in the exhibit hall," Wilder said.
Several SDCC attendees told CNBC that they are disappointed that some panels have been canceled and some celebrities will not be attending the event, but understand why it is happening.
