Warner Bros. Discovery’s originally scrapped Coyote vs. Acme movie will now be released on August 28, 2026, according to an announcement made at San Diego Comic Con 2025. We’ve got Ketchup Entertainment to thank for this, who came in and saved the day when it was announced the project was shelved in 2023 to obtain a tax write-off.
In the interim years, there’s been huge a demand from fans online to get the movie released (remember #ReleaseCoyoteVsAcme and #SaveCoyoteVsAcme in early 2024?), with a funeral screening even allegedly held after the cast and creators alike, such as Will Forte, were publicly devastated by the fallout. After multiple distributors passed on the opportunity to buy the animated movie for $75–80 million, Coyote vs. Acme found its happy ending in March 2025.
