Coyote vs. Acme Negotiates Potential $50 Million Deal for Release

Coyote vs. Acme, the shelved Looney Tunes film that garnered significant backlash following its cancellation by Warner Bros. Discovery for tax write-off purposes, may finally have a release opportunity. Ketchup Entertainment is currently negotiating to acquire the film's rights, with discussions reportedly in the $50 million range. The movie, which stars Will Forte as a lawyer representing Wile E. Coyote in a lawsuit against Acme Corporation, was completed and received positive audience feedback before being shelved. If the deal goes through, Coyote vs. Acme could hit theaters in 2026, three years after its initially planned release. The film has become a symbol of the tension between creative endeavors and corporate financial strategies, prompting vocal support from its cast and fans alike. As negotiations continue, both the film's team and audiences are hopeful for a successful resolution.
