So it looks like yet another studio is playing those games to save
money. They finished the film and have put it on the shelf so no one
will see it because they get a tax write off that way of about $30
million. So they will lose $40 million on the write off but they will
save what ever the marketing costs might be against what they might
have made from airing the movie.

In another maneuver by the David Zaslav-run Warner Bros Discovery to
kill movies, we hear on very good authority that Warner Bros will not
be releasing the hybrid live-action/animated Coyote vs. Acme, with the
conglom taking an estimated $30M write-down on the $70M production. We
understand the write-down for the pic was applied to the recently
reported Q3.

Why are they pulling this crap with stuff that I’d actually watch? Why
don’t they just automatically shelve anything with stinky cheese Larsen in
it?

Thank goodness for that ... live-action or live-action / animated
hybrid versions of old animated shows rarely ever work.

1.13 Billion. That's how much Captain Marvel made.
The budget was 152 million.

So it only made 7 or 8 times what it cost. And she has a Best Actress
Oscar. Yeah, kill that golden goose.

That said, Marvel movies have really been slipping lately - and they're
hardly marketing The Marvels at all.

I was bored to tears by Quantumania, and Love and Thunder was just an
embarrassment. Wakanda Forever felt like it went on forever and The
Eternals was a chaotic mess.

All very pretty, though if you like CGI.

Reportedly, Warner Bros has "reconsidered" and is potentially going to
be shopping the movie to streaming services like Amazon Prime and Apple
TV+ ...

Apple is a contender to buy canceled 'Coyote Vs. Acme'
movie from Warner Bros
------------------------------------------------------
Warner Bros. has reconsidered its decision to not screen
animated feature "Coyote Vs. Acme" following significant
backlash, and is preparing screenings for a possible
acquisition by Apple or other streamers.

The move comes after the film, initially destined for a
theatrical release, was unexpectedly canceled, sparking
substantial controversy in Hollywood. Most of the surprise
around the cancellation was because "Coyote Vs. Acme" is a
finished film, unlike other recently canceled Warner Bros
projects like "Batgirl" and "Scoob Holiday Haunt" that
were still in production.

According to a report from Deadline, Amazon Prime appears
to be a leading contender for acquiring the film. That's
partly due to Courtenay Valenti, currently at Amazon
Studios and MGM, who had previously championed the movie
during her tenure at Warner Bros.

The film's potential move to Amazon is further supported by
the studio's ongoing collaborations with John Cena, the
film's star, in upcoming movies like "Heads of State,"
"Ricky Stanicky," and "Grand Death Lotto."

Warner Bros. shelving "Coyote Vs. Acme" has led to negative
reactions from the film community, with accusations directed
at Warner Bros executives Michael De Luca, Pam Abdy, and
Bill Damaschke. Some rumors claim that these executives have
been unfairly blamed for the incident, with justifications
such as safeguarding the Looney Toons intellectual property
and removing content created under the studio's former
leadership.

However, the report says that De Luca and Abdy have no
history of terminating films or completed movies initiated
by a previous administration throughout their careers.

Ultimately, it may come down to money. Facing financial
pressures, the studio has been reassessing its approach to
content distribution, with a growing preference for streaming
platforms over traditional theatrical releases. It could be
part of a broader strategy to adapt to changing market
dynamics and manage financial risks more effectively.

From what I heard, there were a number of filmmakers who cancelled
their meeting with Warners.

When you start seeing good filmmakers refusing to take meetings with
your company, it's more than just a money problem going forward. No
filmmakers, no films.

Not great ones, anyway...

Maybe Warner Bros. will be bought by the Glimmer Twins (Keith Richards
and Mick Jagger). I'm sure they can afford it.
