Coyote Vs. Acme becomes the latest completed movie to be shelved by Warner Bros. Discovery as a tax write-off. Featuring Wile E. Coyote and the ACME Corporation from Looney Tunes, the live-action animation hybrid starred John Cena, Will Forte, and Lana Condor and was produced by DC Studios co-head James Gunn, who also contributed to the story. The movie finished filming in May 2022.
Now, over a year after it completed filming, Coyote Vs. Acme has been shelved as a tax write-off. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Warner Bros. Discovery no longer plans to release the movie. A Warner Bros. spokesperson said in a statement:
With the re-launch of Warner Bros. Pictures Animation in June, the studio has shifted its global strategy to focus on theatrical releases. With this new direction, we have made the difficult decision not to move forward with Coyote vs Acme. We have tremendous respect for the filmmakers, casts, and crew, and are grateful for their contributions to the film.
More to come…
