But with a festival full of highly anticipated, big-budget films, including James Mangold’s Indiana Jones and the Dial of the Destin and Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon, the party is sure to go on.
Stars set to hit the Cannes red carpet over the next week and a half include Natalie Portman, Leonardo DiCaprio, Cate Blanchett, Sean Penn, Alicia Vikander, the Weeknd and Scarlett Johansson.
The festivities on Tuesday include an opening ceremony where Michael Douglas will receive an honorary Palme d’Or.
Later, one will also be handed out to Indiana Jones star Harrison Ford. Also introduced is the jury that will determine the main prize of the festival, the Palme d’Or.

It is Johnny’s first new film since his trial last year with Amber Heard, his ex-wife. After both Johnny and Amber accused each other of physical and verbal abuse, a civil jury awarded Johnny $10 million in damages and $2 million to Heard.
In comments to the press Monday, Cannes director Thierry Fremaux defended the choice, saying Depp is extraordinary in the film and that he paid no attention to the process.
“To tell you the truth, in my life I have only one rule, it is the freedom of thought, the freedom of expression and the freedom to act within a legal framework,” Fremaux said.
“If Johnny Depp wasn’t allowed to star in a movie, or if the movie was banned, we wouldn’t be talking about this.”
