Coyote vs. Acme, a live-action and animated hybrid film, has made its triumphant return to digital platforms following a box office comeback. Once on the verge of cancellation three years ago, the movie was revived due to fan demand and new distribution efforts led by Ketchup Entertainment. The film stars Wil E. Coyote, who hires a down-on-his-luck lawyer, Will Forte, to sue ACME Corporation and fight against its corporate might, led by Buddy Crane played by John Cena.
Originally produced on a $70 million budget, the movie faced cancellation in 2023, reportedly due to a $30 million tax write-off. However, fan campaigns and Warner Bros.' deprioritization of its animation slate led to the film's release in August 2026. Despite its theatrical debut grossing over $88 million globally, the movie is now available to rent or purchase on digital platforms, including Prime Video, for $19.99 or $24.99.
Additionally, a full line of 4K Blu-rays is up for preorder. IGN awarded the film a 9 out of 10 score, praising its success in capturing the essence of Looney Tunes characters. While the movie's digital release follows a standard 32-day window from its theatrical debut, its availability on streaming platforms remains uncertain. Meanwhile, Warner Bros. continues to navigate through its own challenges, as Paramount emerges as the new buyer for a major deal, with antitrust lawsuits causing brief delays.
