COYOTE VS. ACME
<strong>Coyote vs. Acme</strong> hits theaters this week riding one of the more unusual stories in recent studio history — Warner Bros. shelved the completed film back in 2023 purely for a tax write-off, only to reverse course after major fan and industry backlash, with indie distributor Ketchup Entertainment finally rescuing it for the theatrical release it always deserved. That makes catching it now feel less like a routine outing and more like showing up for a movie that almost didn't exist. And it's a genuine showcase for the Looney Tunes: Wile E. Coyote finally gets his day in court against the corporation that's been blowing him up for decades, but he's not alone — Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Foghorn Leghorn, Porky Pig, Elmer Fudd, Tweety, Sylvester, Yosemite Sam, and Taz all turn up in a live-action/animation hybrid that leans hard into the classic slapstick chaos these characters were built for. Early reviews back it up too, with critics noting it's got as much heart as comedy and brings out the best in these legendary characters. Add in a strong opening weekend and a home-viewing release expected around September 29, and the case for seeing it in theaters this week is pretty simple: it's a rare live theatrical event for Looney Tunes fans, and the window to catch it on the big screen is short.ComedyPT1H43MPG2026-09-03USenWill Forte
