Ketchup Entertainment's acquisition and release plan
Ketchup Entertainment purchased "Coyote vs. Acme" from Warner Bros. after the studio shelved the title. The company has committed to a wide theatrical release. No acquisition price or release date has been disclosed. The film's first trailer arrived in April.
The story adapts a 1990 satirical piece by Ian Frazier, published in The New Yorker, under the same title. In the narrative, Wile E. Coyote files suit against the ACME corporation after decades of its products failing him in pursuit of Road Runner. The final trailer, according to the source, places Tweety Bird in an interrogation, inserting the canary into the legal case at the film's center.
