According to Deadline, Warner Bros.' previously shelved movie, Coyote vs. Acme, might finally hit the screens thanks to ongoing negotiations with Los Angeles-based independent film company, Ketchup Entertainment. Although the deal isn't finalized yet, a successful negotiation could lead to a theatrical release of the film in 2026.

Originally announced in 2022, Coyote vs. Acme is inspired by a 1990 Ian Frazier article in The New Yorker. The film, co-written by James Gunn and featuring Will Forte and John Cena, was set for a mid-2023 release on Max. Despite completing production, it was shelved, sparking a dedicated campaign to revive the project.

Ketchup Entertainment has a track record of saving films from cancellation. They recently secured a theatrical release for Warner Bros.' The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie, marking it as the first fully animated Looney Tunes film to premiere in cinemas. IGN praised it as a "laugh-out-loud riot."

Ketchup Entertainment's portfolio also includes Hellboy: The Crooked Man and the Robert Rodriguez thriller Hypnotic, starring Ben Affleck. They also co-produced Michael Mann's 2023 Ferrari biopic, showcasing their commitment to bringing diverse and compelling films to audiences.
