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.

Unfortunately this silly new movie is a live-action / CGI animation
hybrid. Those rarely ever work - just lok at the idiotic so-called
"Smurfs" movie starring Doogie Howser. :-(

But then again, "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" worked very well and directors
have repeatedly been trying to catch that wave again (I consider the
difference between 2D and 3D CGI animation here mainly cosmetic)

Where it comes to WB shorts, nothing has ever beat "Duck Amuck".

Indeed, that was the rare one that did work (although not CGI animation,
but classic cel-based and optical compositing). For example, Bakshi's
COOL WORLD wasn't even half as good, mainly due to poor story and acting.
