Ketchup Entertainment Acquires 'Coyote vs. Acme' for Theatrical Release

Ketchup Entertainment has acquired the worldwide rights to the live-action/animated film 'Coyote vs. Acme' from Warner Bros., reviving the project after it was shelved during cost-cutting measures. The film, featuring Wile E. Coyote suing the Acme Corporation for faulty products, stars Will Forte as his lawyer and John Cena as the opposing attorney. Ketchup's CEO, Gareth West, expressed excitement about bringing the film to audiences, emphasizing its blend of nostalgia and modern storytelling. This acquisition follows Ketchup's previous success with the Looney Tunes film 'The Day the Earth Blew Up.' Originally shelved amid financial strategies, the film had ignited significant backlash from fans and filmmakers alike, highlighting the heightened scrutiny over Warner Bros.' decision-making. The anticipated theatrical release is set for 2026, marking a significant comeback for the beloved characters.
