Toon Trial: Wile E. Coyote Goes Legal Against Acme

After a three-year delay and a tax-write-off shelving, Coyote vs. Acme hits theaters as a Looney Tunes legal satire from Dave Green. Wile E. Coyote enlists Will Forte’s earnest lawyer and Lana Condor to sue Acme, delivering a warm, Roger Rabbit–style homage with plenty of cameos, a Road Runner on the stand, and a bittersweet ending about Toon friendship. It opened around $16 million, with praise for its humor and heart, though critics note it could have pushed bolder themes and benefited from stronger marketing by Warner Bros.

From Vault to Screens: Coyote vs. Acme Survives a Studio Shuffle

Warner Bros. shelved the Looney Tunes live-action/animated film Coyote vs. Acme in 2023, but public outcry and an indie distributor saved it.

Coyote) to finally reach theaters, with director Dave Green aiming for a grounded blend of drama and humor inspired by The Verdict and Who Framed Roger Rabbit while honoring the franchise’s legacy.

John Cena Keeps Cool as Coyote vs. Acme Finally Arrives in Theaters

John Cena explains his level-headed reaction to the shelved-and-resurrected film Coyote vs. Acme: after Warner Bros. Discovery shelved it in 2023, Ketchup Entertainment picked up the project and it opens in theaters on Aug. 28, 2026. He notes he’s hired to do a job and doesn’t own his performance, and even if the movie hadn’t released, the experience of working with the cast and crew helped him grow as a performer.
