Toronto Film Festival Faces Attendance Crisis as Major Films Pull Out
The Hollywood actors and writers strikes are causing cancellations and financial losses for Toronto restaurants and businesses during the Toronto Film Festival (TIFF). The absence of Hollywood A-listers at parties and events will result in a lack of glitz and glamour, impacting the city's global recognition. Local businesses that transport, feed, and honor celebrities are also expected to face cancellations and disappointment. However, industry professionals remain hopeful for the return of TIFF next year with its usual army of Hollywood stars.
