Warner Bros is negotiating big sale of shelved ‘Coyote Vs. Acme’ movie

Gareth West’s distributor-financier Ketchup Entertainment is negotiating an all-rights acquisition in the $50M range for the animated-live-action hybrid project. Ketchup last year rescued the same studio’s The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie.

The pact isn’t finalised and there’s still a chance it doesn’t make but it’s heading in the right direction. Should it get over the line, the film would get a theatrical release in 2026.

[dduane]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH

Guys. GUYS.

THERE IS A GOD(DESS).

Ketchup Entertainment, an independent distributor, recently spearheaded the theatrical release of “The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie” after Warner Bros. Discovery decided to shop that film as well. “The Day the Earth Blew Up” opened in theaters on March 14 and has grossed $3.9 million at the domestic box office to date.

The ink's not dry on the contract yet, so I would urge everybody who can to go see THE DAY THE EARTH BLEW UP while it's still in the theaters. :)

[ducktracy]

"Go See The Day the Earth Blew Up" Masterpost

this isn't really anything new for anyone following me, but i wanted to make a comprehensive post covering my adamence on seeing this movie--i have a lot of different versions of a lot of different posts being spread around, and wanted to uncross the wires a bit. entering Tumblr PSA mode for a bit like it's 2013 all over again--bear with me!

before getting into the nitty gritty, though, this is a TIME SENSITIVE POST. most theaters were beginning to pull the film out as early as end of day TODAY--not even a full WEEK'S worth of a run. but, thanks to word of mouth, the film has mostly been extended to the end of the weekend. with continued word of mouth and support, the film has a chance to run even longer.

What the Heck is The Day the Earth Blew Up

The Day the Earth Blew Up is an all traditionally hand-drawn, 2D animated film starring Looney Tunes' own Porky Pig, Daffy Duck and Petunia Pig. initially announced in September of 2021, it's the very first all traditionally animated film in the franchise's entire 95 year run.

Why Haven't I Heard About The Day the Earth Blew Up

originally intended to be a direct to streaming release, this film's existence has been wrung through the wringer. for the benefit of tax cuts, Warner Bros. wrote the film off and just barely avoided axing it entirely--even during its production. the film was put up for sale and only just last summer finally was able to procure an independent distributor, Ketchup Entertainment. unfortunately, Ketchup Entertainment is a much smaller name than Warner Bros. is, and because WB isn't releasing it, it's Ketchup who is marketing and spreading the film--obviously, something incredibly difficult to do with a very small budget.

Why the Heck Should I See The Day the Earth Blew Up

hand-drawn, traditionally animated films are all but extinct in theaters, and by setting the film up for what could essentially be described as sabotage, a meager box office performance is the perfect excuse for the suits to claim that there's no more demand for traditionally animated movies anymore.

it's the first all-animated Looney Tunes film in the entire franchise's history.

you don't have to have any knowledge or attachment to the characters to enjoy the film--there are absolutely no prerequisites required (but there are plenty of loving nods to fellow fans of the film.) i dragged my best friend to see this with me who doesn't have the same LT brain parasite that i do and she absolutely loved it.

WB just axed the entire LT library of shorts off of HBO Max, as well as gutted all of the cartoons freely available on their YouTube channel--there seems to be a clear embarrassment for the franchise on their behalf, and seeing the film proves that notion dead wrong.

supporting the film spreads the message that there is a demand for the love and craft that goes into these films. you will genuinely be experiencing history in the making--when's the last time you've seen a brand new, all traditionally animated film in the theaters from the States?

crew members themselves are urging you to spread your support and mention how it empowers them to keep making more

the money goes to Ketchup, not Zaslav--you don't have to worry about boycotting the film. the absolute opposite is necessary.

supporting this film could potentially spawn similar films with similar opportunities. Eric Bauza himself has mentioned that suport and turnout for this film could see a potential revival in Coyote vs. ACME, another film victim to WB's tax writeoffs all in the name of the dollar

EDIT: Ketchup Entertainment is in talks with WB to distribute Coyote vs ACME!!! because of the word of mouth and positivist surrounding The Day the Earth Blew Up!! keep it coming!!

it's likely that the film will be completely overshadowed by the Snow White remake, with theaters initially beginning to pull screens to make way for early previews. what could be more poetic than supporting an all traditionally hand-drawn film over a cash-grab remake of the very first feature length traditionally hand-drawn film?

How Else Can I Support The Day the Earth Blew Up

GO SEE IT! go see it again! go see it with your siblings, your friends, your family! tell your coworkers! reblog this post! spread the news! keep the conversation going!

pre-orders for the Blu-ray, releasing May 27th, are already scheduled

there's a limited edition run of 1,000 copies for the film's soundtrack on vinyl!

said soundtrack is also available on YouTube, which you should likewise listen to! get those view counts up!

Why the Heck Should I Listen to You

i'm asking myself the same thing! but, i do want to put this out there: i get it. i usually do not like being a walking advertisement. i know this is full on shill-mode and you're surely asking "you're being paid, aren't you" (i wish!). i also share the Ferocious Contrarian Gene where seeing posts like these is an instant way for me to NOT want to see the film. i genuinely understand how pushy and obnoxious this can come off. especially since, clearly, i'm a little biased to the franchise and these characters. i also balk at the guilt trippy idea of "YOU'RE A MONSTER IF YOU DON'T SUPPORT THIS FILM YOU KILLED ANIMATION". i HATE that rhetoric with a passion, and that only is going to alienate people from wanting to see this further. please know that's not the intent of my messaging here at all.

but even beyond my personal biases, i really think this is a film worth supporting. movies like this are a once-in-a-lifetime event anymore, and that could only be exacerbated by how this film's fate is handled. i've been overjoyed with the amount of messages i've received from people who said they caught the film on a whim and enjoyed it--especially from those without a clear LT bias like myself. it's proven that this film is enjoyable for anyone.

also, just, spite. the reason you haven't heard about it is by design. this film has been set up to fail. and while the success shouldn't be the sole responsibility or burden of the consumers, but instead the higher-ups, you are making a difference by supporting and spreading word of mouth of this film. crew members themselves are saying so. the distributor themselves are saying so.

i'm not expecting a miracle for this film, as much as i'd love one. i will genuinely be surprised if it makes a profit (which it should at a measly $15 million, pennies compared to most features that look much worse than this). but that's all the more reason to TRY rather than give up and say there's nothing we can do. you all have been making such a wonderful difference. that energy needs to continue, not dwindle. every single person is able to make a difference.

there are a lot worse ways you could be spending your time than spending an hour and a half at the theaters enjoying some gorgeous traditionally hand-drawn animation on the big-screen, feeling good that you're helping to spread a message and supporting the hard, loving craft of the people who worked on it. imagine if all "good turn"s in the world could be as fun and easy as seeing an animated comedy!

[fly-pow-bye]

According to Michael Ruocco, most theaters will be getting rid of The Day The Earth Blew Up by the end of Wednesday, most likely to get more screens ready for Snow White. I have checked my local theaters via Fandango, and that does seem to be the case.

If you want to see a fully two-dimensional Looney Tunes feature length picture in a theater, you have until Wednesday night. you have until this weekend.

Update 3/17 7:38 PM Pacific: Ketchup, the film's distributor in the US, e-mailed Ruocco and said that the film will continue to run through this weekend, and seems to imply that the word of mouth and people seeing the film has worked to keep it going. I have checked Fandango again, and I can confirm that some of the theaters that didn't have a Friday screening when I made this post originally now have it until Sunday night.

[new-employeeamillion]

April has already had a ton of animation/pop culture news that some of you might want to know my thoughts on. So here’s my 2 cents on all the announcements that matter to me.

-New Warner Bros. movies

I still don’t know if this is an April Fools joke. Announcing 3 new animated movies, each based on a classic IP (Looney Tunes, Tom & Jerry and The Flintstones) seems too good to be true. But after selling 2 Looney Tunes movies to a tiny distributor (Ketchup), I can see what they’e trying to do. They know animated movies drum up a lot of attention online these days, even the ones that can’t make much money. It’s sad that it’s reached a point where making movies and releasing them is the bare minimum for good publicity, but I’m going to support the hell out of these movies as they approach their release dates.

All these franchises have had fully animated theatrical movies now, but I can only wonder what the next step will be. I do hope The Day the Earth Blew Up gets a follow-up, because that’s the most fun I’ve had with a movie in a theatre in a long time. With the Flintstones movie, all I can imagine is the tape message scene from The Simpsons Movie but with Fred and Wilma. I don’t know why, but that’s where my imagination goes. Perhaps it won’t be that deep though. Speaking of which…

-The Simpsons is renewed through to Season 40

It’s a year with a number in it and The Simpsons is still on TV. I don’t think FOX has ever renewed 4 new seasons at once, they usually just give it an extra 2 every 2 years. I can’t say I’m the most excited guy in the room, because I don’t want to predict what the next cast/crew loss will be and how that’ll leave the show getting even more distant from its roots. Like I know they’re keeping it on as long as possible for the meme, and I am morbidly curious to see how long, but the future has never looked less assured. I have been catching up on the Matt Selman seasons, and they can be enjoyable, but it’ll take a miracle to keep that level of quality up for the rest of the decade.

I guess the miracle comes from the shorter seasons they’ve got now. They’ve been airing 18 annually on FOX recently, with 4 being turned into specials on Disney+. Now the FOX episode count has been cut down to 15 annually. Maybe they’re finally learning to strike a quality over quantity balance, maybe the budget is getting lower, or maybe the show has so many episodes now that an 850th won’t spark much anticipation. Either way, I’ve got mixed hopes.

-South Park’s 27th season

They’ve apparently fully planned it out ahead of time this year, taking influence from news stories that you can bet your bottom dollar will be irrelevant when it drops on July 9th. I’m still interested to see what South Park does next as well, but it hardly feels like it’s still running anymore. I know Trey and Matt have been embroiled in legal battles, and they’ve been busy on other projects (again again). But the fact they’re breaking code and planning stories months in advance will definitely lead to interesting results. Maybe not great, certainly not Season 5-8 great, but who knows?

-Doctor Who’s doing an episode about cartoons

We’re going back to the Land of Fiction with this one. This rubberhose guy might make the rounds on animation social media for a week, but the more I see of his episode, the more it looks like an experiment first and a story second, like the Beatles episode last season. I mean this is the third year in a row they’re doing “What if [20th century media] got corrupted and destroys the present?” I can count on the rubberhose guy to leave an impact, and on the leads to be entertaining, but this is already looking like the season’s highlight to me. I can only hope they’ll spend part or the rest of it fixing last year’s finale. Fingers crossed. Brave heart, fandom.

-Nintendo Switch 2

Looks expensive. Not PS3 expensive, but inflation is a cruel force of nature. I won’t get it at launch based on that, and the fact I usually wait for the big 3D Super Mario game before getting a new Nintendo console. I got 3D World with my Wii U, Odyssey with my Switch, and whatever they’ve got next is going with my Switch 2. The games and features they have announced look exciting, but again, I’ll wait for more games and a price drop, and get as much out of my Switch as I can.

That’s all, folks!

PLEASE WATCH THE DAY THE EARTH BLEW UP!

HEY! Do you like Looney Tunes? Are you still pissed at Zaslav for canning the release of Coyote vs Acme and the recently pulling the entire series from Max? Well, there was a Looney Toons movie that came out Friday that didn't receive any advertising and was going to be pulled from theaters today, but thanks to the explosion of positive responses during the weekend, it will be continued to be seen through this weekend. I saw the movie Saturday and I've really enjoyed it and highly recommend it to everyone to support the release. And the best part? It's pretty much an unfiltered Looney Toons movie! No celebrities, no live action parts except for an audience gag, and there's no recent stuff that would drag the movie give or take a couple of jokes. It truly is an authentic Looney Toons starring Daffy and Porky, two of my favorite characters! And there has been talks of WB selling Coyote vs Acme to Ketchup Entertainment, the distributors of TDTEBU, and they can release it next year!

So, if you haven't done it already, PLEASE WATCH IT! I promise you that you won't be disappointed!

[toonabby]

Since that greedy cheapstake doesn't want this in theaters anymore, Imma pirate this because I ain't spending a single dollar on that bastard of a CEO and company.

For those wondering what the hell is going on, one of the people who worked on this film, Michael Ruocco, announced that the film will be pulled from theaters on Wednesday, erging fans to get tickets to it before its gone.

Link to his Bluesky post

Link to my Blue sky thread for the matter

Whether this was the result of WB or its distributor Ketchup Entertainment is uncertain, but it IS certain that the future of Warner Bros., the Looney Tunes IP, and WB animation as a whole is dire. All because of a greedy fuck of a CEO who couldn't care less about screwing over animators and animation fans and costing what would've been WB's "return to form/win the crowd back" moment, especially since the classic shorts were pulled from Max not long after the film's release.

[damiankirby99]

This post is made to support Ketchup Entertainment, as they finally brought The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie to the big screen last March, as well as finally buying distribution rights to Coyote vs ACME recently.

I wanna say, congratulations to those who saw potential in 2D animation, as well as Looney Tunes in general, since Warner Bros. isn't doing a great job with it. I will be looking forward to seeing The Day The Earth Blew Up once it comes out on home media, as well as Coyote vs ACME too. We're happy we finally get these movies since Looney Tunes has been our childhoods when we watched those cartoons on television, as well as the movies they had done (except Space Jam 2), and I hoped that WB would release these movies. But as we lost hope on those movies, Ketchup finally saved the day and got their hands on these movies, and now they can finally see the light of day (let's hope Scoob: Holiday Haunt is next as well).

It's a shame that WB is trying to get rid of Looney Tunes, because that's what helped made WB in addition to their films, and it is all because of Zaslav. Now that these two films are under the healm of Ketchup Entertainment, I'm proud that they saved these films from being lost and I suggest anyone of you to support the distributor by watching The Day The Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie in theaters and Coyote vs ACME next year. Let's hope the latter gets more promotional material and tie-in products though.

[blogger360ncislarules]

Warner Bros‘ shelved Coyote vs Acme movie may have finally found a new home with the studio deep in sale negotiations, we can reveal.

Gareth West’s distributor-financier Ketchup Entertainment is negotiating an all-rights acquisition in the $50M range for the animated-live-action hybrid project. Ketchup last year rescued the same studio’s The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie.

The pact isn’t finalised and there’s still a chance it doesn’t make but it’s heading in the right direction. Should it get over the line, the film would get a theatrical release in 2026.

The deal would mark a significant and record outlay for Ketchup, whose previous releases have included Michael Keaton starrer Goodrich, comic book reboot Hellboy: The Crooked Man, Ben Affleck thriller Hypnotic, and Michel Franco’s Jessica Chastain drama Memory.

Directed by David Green and written by May December scribe Samy Burch, as well as DC Studios co-boss James Gunn and Jeremy Slater, Coyote vs. Acme is based on the Looney Tunes characters and the New Yorker humor article “Coyote v. Acme” by Ian Frazier.

Will Forte, John Cena and Lana Condor star in the movie which follows Wile E. Coyote, who, after Acme products fail him one too many times in his dogged pursuit of the Roadrunner, decides to hire a billboard lawyer to sue the Acme Corporation. The case pits Wile E. and his lawyer (Forte) against the latter’s intimidating former boss (Cena), but a growing friendship between man and cartoon stokes their determination to win.

Despite test-screening well, the project became a high-profile casualty of WB cost-cutting two years ago and it has been sitting on the shelf for more than a year. The studio reportedly screened the movie to a string of buyers in early 2024 with a price tag of around $70M, which is how much the film is said to have cost. Studio sources claim to us that they didn’t get any offers at the time.

David Zaslav’s Warner Bros previously pulled the plug on high-profile pics such as Batgirl and the animated Scoob Holiday Haunt! In this instance, Ketchup has enacted a rescue operation. The same company also struck an all-rights deal last year for the similarly unwanted Warner Bros project The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie. Ketchup released the film theatrically this past weekend, taking in $3.1M off a strong screen count of 2,827.

Both The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie and Coyote vs Acme were intended for HBO Max, having been greenlit in December 2020 as a streaming release by the prior studio leadership. Ketchup negotiated the deal for The Day The Earth Blew Up with the WBTV Animation group.

LA-based Brit Gareth West launched Ketchup more than a decade ago to release movies but not a great deal has been reported about his background or how the company is financed. Partners at the firm include Artur Galstian, an entrepreneur and startup investor, and Vahan Yepremeyan, founder of Yepremyan Law Firm. Michael Mann’s Ferrari was another of the company’s investments.

Last fall, Ketchup partnered with Zero Gravity Management and Ozark producer Mark Williams on a TV division. The venture sits within Ketchup and will produce and acquire premium series, with Ketchup also serving as the U.S. distributor.

Warner Bros and Ketchup declined to comment.

I thought of something.

Ketchup Entertainment might acquire COYOTE VS. ACME from Warner Bros. Discovery, and give it a theatrical release some time in 2026.

This is a movie that was completed sometime in 2023, certainly before it was announced that it almost got shelved and turned into a tax write-off.

COYOTE VS. ACME was in production back when Warner Bros.' theatrical animation label was called "Warner Animation Group". WAG. Complete with a logo that appeared at the start of their movies.

Hah, logo enthusiasts doin' the lord's work.

After the merger w/ Discovery, the theatrical feature animation arm was overhauled, and a new name was given: Warner Bros. Pictures Animation. A mouthful in comparison to the previous one, even as an acronym. WBPA... It's almost giving DCEU!

Like Walt Disney Animation Studios, WDAS... I call that Wuh-Das for short, Wub-Pa for this one.

Anyways, the first movie bearing this new name should be THE CAT IN THE HAT, which opens February 27, 2026. It was in development back when the arm was still known as WAG, but it shall be the WBPA debut.

That would make 2022's DC LEAGUE OF SUPER-PETS the final WAG movie. Kinda fitting, in that it's about a dog... But wait... It may not be?

SCOOB! HOLIDAY HAUNT was completed in fall 2022 and was supposed to come out on Max, until David Zaslav locked it away for good. The film file likely has the WAG logo in the opening.

COYOTE VS. ACME, should Ketchup get a hold of it... What logo does it have at the start of the movie? I'd assume, those who saw the film in test screenings circa mid-2023 got a WAG logo. Probably one that was custom-made for the movie, no less.

I'd imagine the released COYOTE VS. ACME retains the opening it would've had as a 2023/2024 Warner release: The Warner logo unrolls, and then flips around, WAG! But before that, presumably a Ketchup Entertainment logo, for they are the distributor in this scenario. It'd be an unusual opening, but at least you'd still have the shield logo that's practically synonymous with the Looney Tunes. It'd also be unusual in that it's WAG's last hurrah, despite being expired as a studio/production company name a few years ago. CAT IN THE HAT is a February 2026 release, and I'd assume Ketchup's COYOTE VS. ACME release occurs after that. Unless they aim for mid-January, weeks before AANG: THE LAST AIRBENDER is set to open.

If not, it'd be WBPA... Then WAG... Then back to WBPA.

(Kinda similar to how Disney broke off with RKO Radio Pictures in 1953 and established their self-distribution arm Buena Vista... But there were still some movies/shorts that were part of the RKO contract that were released well into 1956.)

THE DAY THE EARTH THE BLEW UP, in case you haven't been able to see it, opens with the Ketchup logo, and then the WB Animation logo. Of course, WB Animation being the production company behind what was supposed to be a Max movie. The same studio that did TEEN TITANS GO! TO THE MOVIES, direct-to-video DC stuff and even a MORTAL KOMBAT movie or too (complete with Scorpion capturing Daffy in the logo).

Kinda confusing, eh? There's a Warner Bros. Pictures Animation (larger budget, theatrical), and there's a Warner Bros. Animation (TV, direct-to-video, etc.), the latter SOMETIMES gets a movie into theaters. Again, TEEN TITANS GO! TO THE MOVIES released theatrically in summer 2018, and we got THE DAY THE EARTH BLEW UP earlier this month. LORD OF THE RINGS rights-grab WAR OF THE ROHIRRIM came and went in theaters this past December.

But first, we gotta see if Ketchup gets the movie. It's been about a week at this point, and these things take time, so...

[ducktracy]

if you still need an excuse to go see The Day the Earth Blew Up, it just got announced that they're gonna total the original building where the LT shorts were made in the '50s and '60s, coming right after they purged all of the shorts from HBO Max 🙃

your support of the film goes to the distributor, Ketchup Entertainment, and is less money in Zaslav's pockets and more of a reminder that you want these characters to stick around because damned if he does! the film has been extended to at least mid-week next week, please go see it if you haven't yet--or if you want a double dose!

[fly-pow-bye]

In good news, Ketchup Entertainment got the rights to release The Day The Earth Blew Up in North American theaters. GFM Animation has the rights to release the film worldwide, but now it finally has a North American distributor. Still no release date yet, though.
