Coyote Vs. Acme Finds a $50M Lifeline After $70M Production
TL;DR Summary
Warner Bros. Discovery spent about $70 million to produce the live‑action/animation hybrid Coyote Vs. Acme, shelved it in 2023 with a roughly $30 million write‑off, and then sold it to Ketchup Entertainment for $50 million, which will release the film theatrically on August 28 after a sustained industry push and internal battles over creative choices (including reintroducing Peter Lorre’s likeness).
