Overview

• Ketchup Entertainment has purchased worldwide distribution rights to 'Coyote vs. Acme' from Warner Bros. for approximately $50 million.
• The live-action/animated hybrid film, based on a 1990 New Yorker article, centers on Wile E. Coyote suing the Acme Corporation for faulty products.
• Directed by Dave Green, the movie stars Will Forte, John Cena, and Lana Condor, with a theatrical release planned for 2026.
• Warner Bros. originally shelved the completed film in 2023 as part of a $30 million tax write-off strategy, leading to backlash from fans and creatives.
• This acquisition follows Ketchup Entertainment's recent distribution of another Looney Tunes film, further establishing its role in rescuing shelved projects.
