The fate of the Warner Bros. movie Coyote vs. Acme hangs in the balance as the studio has reportedly refused to sell it to another distributor, potentially leading to its cancellation. Actor Eric Bauza has shared images from the movie on social media, expressing gratitude for the support received in the #ReleaseCoyoteVsACME campaign.
Coyote vs. Acme, featuring a mix of animation and live-action and starring Will Forte, John Cena, Lana Condor, and Looney Tunes characters, faced potential deletion in November. However, after a screening garnered positive feedback, the studio allowed the filmmakers to seek alternative distribution options.
Despite efforts to save the film, Warner Bros. is now rumored to be considering removing it from their slate, with a possible decision looming around the fourth quarter earnings call. The studio's alleged reluctance to find a buyer willing to meet their financial expectations has further complicated the situation.
The movie, directed by Dave Green, follows Wile E. Coyote as he takes legal action against the ACME Corporation for the faulty products that have hindered his pursuit of the Road Runner. The project's future remains uncertain as the studio faces pressure to resolve its status.
Screenings for potential buyers have taken place, but Warner Bros.' demands and lack of flexibility have hindered negotiations. The reported lack of involvement from key executives in the decision-making process has raised concerns about the project's fate.
As the battle to save Coyote vs. Acme continues, the film's cast and crew, along with supporters, remain hopeful for a positive outcome amidst the ongoing uncertainty surrounding its release.
