Coyote vs. Acme Opens to Record Box Office for Ketchup Entertainment

Published 29 August 2026

The live-action animated hybrid film Coyote vs. Acme, which was nearly shelved permanently by Warner Bros., has debuted to strong box office projections and critical acclaim, marking a significant victory for the indie studio that rescued it. According to projections reported by Deadline, the film is expected to gross approximately $14 million domestically in its opening weekend, which would set a new all-time record for distributor Ketchup Entertainment. The film, which blends live-action with animation in a courtroom comedy, follows Wile E. Coyote as he sues the Acme Corporation for its faulty products.
