Overview
- Ketchup Entertainment released the final trailer on Thursday, July 23, and announced tickets are on sale ahead of a public preview at San Diego Comic-Con on Saturday.
- The film, a live-action/animation legal-comedy starring Will Forte and John Cena, will open in theaters on August 28 after Ketchup acquired worldwide rights from Warner Bros. Discovery.
- Coyote vs. Acme centers on Wile E. Coyote suing the Acme Corporation for defective products and features many classic Looney Tunes cameos such as Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Tweety, Foghorn Leghorn, and Taz.
- The movie was directed by Dave Green, written by Samy Burch from a story by Burch, James Gunn and Jeremy Slater, and produced by James Gunn and Chris DeFaria, with a principal human cast that includes Lana Condor, Tone Bell, P. J. Byrne, Martha Kelly and Luis Guzmán.
- The project’s rescue traces back to Warner Bros. Discovery shelving the completed film in 2023 for a tax write-off, prompting industry backlash and eventual sale to Ketchup in March 2025, a sequence that has raised questions about studio cost-cutting and control of nostalgic IP.
