Coyote vs. Acme Opens in Theaters After Long Delay

After a years-long battle that saw it shelved for a tax writeoff and then rescued by an independent distributor, the live-action and animation hybrid comedy Coyote vs. Acme finally arrives in theaters this weekend. The film, which follows Looney Tunes character Wile E. Coyote in a lawsuit against the Acme Corporation, opens on August 28, 2026, following a turbulent journey from completion to cancellation and back to release. The movie's path to the screen began in 2023 when Warner Bros. Discovery removed the completed film from its release calendar as part of a cost-cutting strategy. The decision sparked significant backlash from fans and the animation community.
