Coyote vs. Acme Crosses $50 Million at Domestic Box Office

The @DiscussingFilm post reports that the Looney Tunes hybrid film Coyote vs. Acme has surpassed $50 million in domestic ticket sales. It is trending due to the film’s well-known backstory: Warner Bros. completed it then tried to shelve it for a tax write-off; Ketchup Entertainment later acquired it for roughly $50 million and gave it a theatrical release. Fans and box-office watchers are celebrating the milestone as proof the movie deserved a real release and has now essentially recouped the acquisition cost domestically (with higher worldwide totals reported).
