After Acme products fail him one too many times in his dogged pursuit of the Roadrunner, Wile E. Coyote decides to hire a billboard lawyer to sue the Acme Corporation.
The team created a 'sketchvis' previs that looked like a PlayStation 3 cut‑scene to block live‑action shots before drawing the Looney Tunes animation on top.
After being written off as a tax-deductible loss, ‘Coyote vs. Acme’ was bought by Ketchup Entertainment for $50 million and opened in 3,575 U.S. theaters, earning $15.4 million its first weekend.
Warner Bros. shelved the completed Coyote vs. Acme in 2023 for a tax write‑off, but a fan‑driven campaign forced the studio to sell the film instead of deleting it.
Coyote vs. Acme was originally slated to be a $30 million tax write-off by Warner Bros. before Ketchup Entertainment acquired the rights to release it.
