The cancellation of MIPTV due to the Coronavirus outbreak is raising questions over the viability of the Cannes Film Festival and market, which take place in the same location only six weeks later.…

The bigger more commercial movies can sell perfectly well in that scenario. Some movies may elect to wait until the fall before launching which would make Toronto more of a pre-sale market than usual. Business on smaller films and on would-be festival titles would be more of a struggle.
