Coyote vs. Acme Outsmarts Zaslav, Haunts Warner Bros. Discovery

TL;DR Summary
Slate portrays Coyote vs. Acme as a paradox for Warner Bros. Discovery: a $70M film long in development and shelved by CEO David Zaslav, it opened at No. 2 with about $15.4M (plus $1.7M in previews) and has since helped recoup losses, turning into a public humiliation for Zaslav and a case study in the tension between creative risk and austerity at WBD.
