Coyote vs. Acme Film to Premiere August 2026 Following Comic‑Con Showcase
The hybrid live‑action/animation comedy *Coyote vs. Acme*, directed by Dave Green and starring Lana Condor alongside John Cena and Will Forte, will open in theaters on August 28, 2026. After Warner Bros. Discovery shelved the project in November 2023 as a $30 million tax write‑off, Ketchup Entertainment acquired the rights for $50 million and set the release date.
At the San Diego Comic‑Con panel, Green and Condor discussed the film’s long road, showing a preview clip and noting enthusiastic early reactions from critics. The movie’s premise follows Wile E. Coyote suing the Acme Corporation over faulty products. IGN confirmed that a Blu‑ray edition will follow, featuring several uncensored, adult‑rated outtakes, including material with John Cena.
The announcement has sparked interest from streaming platforms, but the theatrical launch and physical‑media release are now confirmed, marking a significant win for the film’s supporters.
