    Coyote vs. Acme is an American comedy film directed by Dave Green and written by Samy Burch from a story by Burch, James Gunn (who also served as a producer), and Jeremy Slater. Combining live-action and animation, the film is based on the character Wile
    E. Coyote and the Acme Corporation from the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of cartoons, and the 1990 magazine article of the same name published in The New Yorker by Ian Frazier. Produced by Warner Bros. Pictures Animation, the film's cast
    includes John Cena, Will Forte, Lana Condor, and the voice of Eric Bauza.

    On November 9, 2023, Warner Bros. Pictures announced that it would withhold the film from release so it could obtain a $30 million tax write-down. This was the third film shelved by the company, after Batgirl and Scoob! Holiday Haunt. However, public
    backlash led studio executives to reverse the decision a few days later, allowing the filmmakers to shop the film to other distributors.

    After all of the products made by Acme Corporation backfire on Wile E. Coyote, in his pursuit of the Road Runner, he hires an equally unlucky human attorney to sue the company. When Wile E.'s lawyer finds out that his former law firm's intimidating boss
    is Acme's CEO, he teams up with Wile E. to win the court case against him.
