Annapurna Pictures has laid off a “modest” number of staff members as it copes with the economic fallout from the coronavirus pandemic shutdowns, including the company’s CFO James Pong.
The studio has not disclosed the full extent of the layoffs, but a spokesperson said in a statement provided to TheWrap that “Annapurna is making modest adjustments to our staffing given the current business climate.”
The layoffs mainly affected assistants and some junior staff members. According to Variety, which first reported the layoffs, a total of seven employees were let go.
The boutique film and TV studio established by Megan Ellison has been shedding weight for more than a year.
