The release of Coyote vs. Acme is starting to look more likely as Warner Bros. has been negotiating with a distributor to sell them the shelved project. The Coyote vs. Acme movie was originally cancelled by Warner Bros. in November 2023 for a tax write-off despite being complete. However, the movie started getting shopped to potential distributors after public backlash. By April 2024, it seemed the studio was unable to come to agreeable terms with potential buyers, leaving the movie shelved for the foreseeable future. However, it had not been outright cancelled despite a lack of news about its fate.

Though I have to ask: In this day of digital distribution, why the fuck does a big studio like WB need outside distributors? They could release it digitally themselves quite easily, couldn't they?

Good question. Since they got rid of Looney Tunes off of Max, I wonder if they plan on selling the IP.
