Lionsgate has announced its 2016 Cannes Film Festival sales slate, billing it as the studio’s biggest yet, comprising eight titles
 
In addition, Lionsgate’s Cannes roster includes the Hasbro co-production My Little Pony: The Movie with voices from Emily Blunt and Kristin Chenoweth
 
This movie might be on a screen this month or more likely it’s a trailer for the upcoming film. Either way, something pony related is going to Cannes. It’s not very clear what a “sales slate” refers to in this instance. Guess we’ll find out? Some are saying it has to do with selling the foreign rights to the film. “Lionsgate relies on pre-sales of foreign rights to finance its movies” - which indicates that they will be trying to get interest in the movie for distribution.
