Coyote vs. Acme Film May Still Hit Theaters

May 04,25

According to a report by Deadline, the previously shelved Warner Bros. film Coyote vs. Acme might finally see the light of day. Los Angeles-based independent film company Ketchup Entertainment is reportedly in deep negotiations to acquire the movie, which was thought to be entirely scrapped. While the deal is not yet finalized, a theatrical release could be on the horizon for 2026 if the acquisition goes through.

Coyote vs. Acme, announced in 2022, is based on a 1990 New Yorker article by Ian Frazier and co-written by James Gunn. The film stars Will Forte and John Cena and was originally slated for a mid-2023 release on Max. Despite having completed filming, it was shelved, prompting a dedicated campaign to save it.

Ketchup Entertainment has a track record of rescuing films from oblivion. They recently saved another Warner Bros. project, The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie, from a similar fate. This film became the first fully animated Looney Tunes movie to receive a theatrical release in the US, earning praise as a "laugh-out-loud riot" from IGN.

Ketchup Entertainment's portfolio includes other notable releases such as Hellboy: The Crooked Man and the Robert Rodriguez thriller Hypnotic, starring Ben Affleck. They also co-produced Michael Mann's 2023 Ferrari biopic, showcasing their commitment to bringing quality films to audiences.
