Coyote Vs Acme

[Flibster]

Finally getting close to release. August 28th.

Canned in 2023 by Warner Brothers as a tax write off. Completely finished film. Nope... We want the $30mil tax write off instead.

Composer shared a behind the scenes a few years ago.

Does it star a stripped out rusty BMW?

So if they now release it, do they have to still pay the $30mil?

Probably enough material for making an inspirational film on the journey of this film getting to the screen.

Warner Brothers aren't releasing it. They finally allowed the filmmakers to shop the film to other distributors. It's being done now by Ketchup Entertainment. No, not heard of them either. Gone through their list of films, only seen one. Ferrari. it was fine.

Warner apparently wanted $75-80mil to release the film to another distributor. It cost $72mil to produce and they were going to get $30mil from the tax break... So at the low end, a they're getting a $33mil profit form a film they're not releasing.

They dont get the tax break - they sold it to Ketchup instead for $50 million, so didn't lose as much as they would if they took the tax break.

Deffo seeing this… the intrigue is too high!

Good.

Has a very 'who framed Roger rabbit' look at first glance.

I'll give it a watch as Road Runner and Coyote were my favourite looney tunes characters as a kid and to see why they went with the tax write off route instead of giving it a release.

 

[Shamikebab]

Yeah, tough to tell from the trailer whether it will actually be good but it was a good trailer.

 

[gettothechopper]

awesome!

 

[Malevolence]

Definite watch.

 

[MooMoo444]

John Cena is always great so worth it just for that.

IGN full of praise for the film.

I really hope it does well at the box office just to spite WB

 

[Gepetto]

I love the fact that John Cena is not scared to take the mick out of himself. So it's a must watch for me.

Just got back from seeing this, had fun! Thoughts from the daily film thread:

Predictably dwarfed by its ace concept, but still fun and cute. Probably as good as you could hope. I chuckled quite a bit throughout, and thought the humour was well-balanced. I didn’t expect feels, but I guess it pushed me in the childhood nostalgia hitbox.

7/10
