The Annecy International Animation Film Festival has been called off this year due to the coronavirus pandemic
The Annecy International Animation Film Festival, and its associated market, has been called off this year due to the novel coronavirus pandemic. The 2020 edition, set to be Annecy's 60th anniversary, was scheduled to run June 15-20. Instead, the event will be held June 14-19, 2021.
Calling the Annecy festival "a party, a family gathering," organizers said they could not bring themselves "to celebrate animation and our 60th anniversary when some amongst you would not be able to attend." Pushing the festival to a later date this year was not possible, Annecy said, because of other events on the industry calendar. The 2020 Cannes Film Festival, which has been postponed, is eyeing a possible alternative date in late June or early July.
Annecy still plans to unveil its official selections for the 60th anniversary festival April 15, though the films won't be screened until next year. On April 15, organizers said, they will also announce details for industry attendees. Annecy is the world's number one festival for animated film and has become a favorite event for studios and independents to launch new projects or kick off global marketing campaigns. At last year's festival, Disney screened the first footage ofand Netflix gave a sneak peek at images from several animated projects in development, including Ricky Gervais'

Cowen survey forecasts stores to reopen in June, Ulta and Planet Fitness will recover quicklyThree-quarters of investors who responded to a Cowen survey said they think stores will reopen in June. Once stores are back in operation, analysts forecast Ulta Beauty Inc. and Planet Fitness Inc. will recover quickly. "Ulta's loyal customer base, 90% off-mall presence, and virtual try-on capabilities through augmented reality could collectively drive continued market share gains as consumers reorient shopping patterns through a socially distant lens," analysts wrote. Cowen touts Planet Fitness' "lean" business model and says the company will realize revenue when gyms reopen. Moreover, it will gain market share from financially struggling fitness chains that are at risk. Cowen analysts are cautious about the department store sector, including Macy's Inc. and and Kohl's Corp. . Consumer Discretionary Select SPDR ETF has tumbled 17.4% over the last year while the S&P 500 index has fallen 10% for the period.
