Warner Bros. Discovery schedules release of shelved Looney Tunes film

Warner Bros. Discovery's completed Looney Tunes hybrid "Coyote vs. Acme" was slated for theatrical release after the studio temporarily shelved the project, and early screenings have drawn positive reviews. The film, a live-action/animation blend featuring Wile E.

Coyote's courtroom battle with Acme, is set to open in cinemas later this summer. The project was written off by Warner Bros. in 2023 and later sold to independent distributor Ketchup Entertainment for $50 million, which secured a late-summer release. Director Dave Green described the movie as a singular character study, comparing it to an Iron Man-style origin for the Looney Tunes franchise.
