Coyote vs. Acme: A Courtroom Showdown That Keeps Theaters Laughing

Coyote vs. Acme rides a strong theatrical wave as io9 chats with Will Forte, Lana Condor, John Cena, Erica Bauza, and director Dave Green about the Looney Tunes courtroom caper—Wile E. Coyote sues Acme, Road Runner testifies, and Acme wins, delivering a message of perseverance rather than a pure victory. The film’s release—years after being shelved as a tax write‑off—was propelled by fan campaigns and a $15 million opening weekend, underscoring the “never give up” spirit that carried it to theaters.
