We live in a time when studios simply stamped films in order to get tax depreciation in the millions. In recent years, Warner Bros. Discovery has caused a sensation with two titles that disappeared from the starting lists overnight: Batgirl and Coyote vs. Acme.
At least for the latest adventure from the Looney Tunes universe there is now a glimmer of hope on the horizon. After it lasted as if we never saw Coyote vs. Acme, the film staged by Chris McKay (The Lego Batman Movie) fights back into the spotlight.
Coyote vs. Acme: A 50 million deal could decide the future of the Looney Tunes offshoot
As the industry magazine Deadline experienced exclusively, Ketchup Entertainment is a new prospect in negotiations with Warner in order to secure all rights to Coyote Vs. Acme. The mixture of live action and animation could for $ 50 million Change the studio.
It is not the first time that Ketchup Entertainment preserves a Looney Tunes film from safe death. Already a sticky adventure that was released in 2024: Daffy Duck and Pigs Dick saved the planet almost never saw the light of day if it had been based on Warner’s business decisions.
The deal is not yet under roof. So far, Warner has requested at least $ 75 to $ 80 million for Coyote Vs. ACME. This sum was justified with the production costs of the film: the offshoot is said to have cost $ 70 million about the coyot Wile E. Coyote pursued by the bad luck.
Rescue mission for Coyote vs. ACME: When would the Looney Tunes film start in the cinema?
If the deal comes about, Coyote vs. Acme could eventually Celebrate its premiere in 2026
– around three years after its original theatrical release. Let us hope that the rescue mission will succeed so that we can get a picture of the film ourselves. The cast around John Cena (Peacemaker), wants fore (The Last Man on Earth) and Lana Condor (to all the boys i’ve loved before) sounds promising.
It would be a tragedy if the latest film from one of the oldest franchise Hollywood is never released. The Looney Tunes has been inspiring young and old since 1930. A year later, the series of cartoon Merrie Melodies was added, in which numerous Looney Tunes figures had a appearance. So here we talk about a cornerstone of pop culture with which generations of children grew up.
