The real trailer is due next week.


Coyote vs. Acme Throws Shade at WB Tax Write-Off,
Trailer Release Date Set
-------------------------------------------------
Ketchup Entertainment announced the first trailer release date
for Coyote vs. Acme, the long-awaited Looney Tunes movie, with
a new teaser. The brief clip throws shade at Warner Bros.
Discovery and its decision to shelve the movie as a tax
write-off.

When is the Coyote vs. Acme trailer release date?
In honor of Tax Day in the U.S. (April 15), the short clip
featuring Wile E. Coyote announced that a trailer for Coyote vs.
Acme will premiere next week. "Coyote vs. Acme has elected to
file its trailer next week," the caption reads.

In the brief teaser, Coyote holds up a sign that says "Happy Tax
Day" before flipping it to the other side to reveal it says
"Check Your Write-Offs." The Coyote then crashes to the ground.
The clip is poking fun at Warner Bros.' controversial decision
to claim a $30 million tax write-off on the $70 million movie
rather than release it.

In November 2023, Warner Bros. eventually reversed course on its
tax write-off plans and allowed the filmmakers to sell the film
to another distributor. The movie sat in limbo for over a year,
with the public rallying against Warner Bros. to support the
film.

In March 2025, Ketchup Entertainment acquired the worldwide
rightsato Coyote vs. Acme from Warner Bros.

"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 (Forte) to sue the Acme Corporation," the
official synopsis reads. "The case pits Wile E. and his lawyer
against the latter's intimidating former boss (Cena), but a
growing friendship between man and cartoon stokes their
determination to win."

Coyote vs. Acme stars Will Forte as Kevin Avery, Coyote's lawyer;
Lana Condor as Paige Avery, Kevin's niece; and John Cena as Buddy
Crane, Acme's lawyer. P.J. Byrne, Tone Bell, Martha Kelly, and
Luis Guzman are also set to appear.

Besides Wile E. Coyote, many Looney Tunes characters will appear,
including Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and Tweety.

Dave Green directs Coyote vs. Acme from a screenplay by Samy Burch.
James Gunn and Chris deFaria are producers. The movie is based on
Ian Frazier's 1990 "Coyote vs. Acme" humor article in The New
Yorker.

The film will be released theatrically on August 28, 2026.
