When Coyote vs. Acme became the latest project from Warner Bros. to be shelved rather than released, there was an uproar among the filmmakers and the fans who had been eagerly anticipating a movie with a lot of positive buzz. The noise was apparently significant enough that WB noticed, and so instead began offering Acme up to other studios if there was anybody interested in buying it. While there has yet to be a deal, there is a good possibility that the movie may eventually be released, and perhaps even in theaters.
A new report from Deadline states that Coyote vs. Acme has been shown to Netflix, Paramount, Amazon, Apple, and Sony. Of those, both Netflix and Paramount have made actual bids for the movie. Amazon is also reportedly considering a bid but hasn’t made one yet. While the numbers are unknown, Paramount’s bid may be the most attractive, as it would actually include a theatrical release for the movie.
