Coyote vs. ACME Is Finally Being Released, and Here’s the Trailer to Prove It

By all rights, Coyote vs. ACME should’ve been released three years ago. Except Warner Bros. decided to shelve the movie — which had done well with test audiences and received praise from other filmmakers — simply to get a tax write-off. And they did this without telling the cast and crew until after the movie was finished, meaning all of their hard work was for naught. Coyote vs. ACME subsequently became something of a cause célèbre, a prime example of movie studios caring more about their shareholders and the bottom line than the movies they make.

Last March, however, Ketchup Entertainment inked a deal with Warner Bros. to release Coyote vs. ACME, and here we are. As its title implies, the film features Wile E. Coyote, fed up with his inability to capture the Road Runner, finally deciding to sue the ACME Corporation for their faulty and unreliable products. But when Mr. Coyote discovers a massive coverup, ACME will stop at nothing to silence him. Coyote vs. ACME stars all of the classic Looney Tunes characters you’d expect alongside Will Forte, Lana Condor, Luis Guzmán, and John Cena.

Coyote vs. ACME will finally arrive in theaters on August 28, 2026.
