Coyote vs. Acme, the animated and live-action hybrid film, is now available for rent or purchase on digital platforms, including Prime Video, following its recent theatrical release. The movie is also slated for a physical release with 4K Blu-rays available for preorder.
The film can be rented for $19.99 or purchased digitally for $24.99. Coyote vs. Acme centers on Wile E. Coyote's decision to sue the ACME Corporation after years of workplace injuries. He teams up with a struggling lawyer, portrayed by Will Forte, to take on ACME's legal team, led by John Cena's character, Buddy Crane.
Originally produced with a $70 million budget, Coyote vs. Acme was shelved by Warner Bros. in 2023, reportedly for a $30 million tax write-off. This decision sparked significant fan outcry, particularly as Warner Bros. began deprioritizing its animation slate. After sustained fan campaigns, the studio allowed the filmmakers to seek distribution elsewhere.
Ketchup Entertainment eventually acquired the film and orchestrated a theatrical release in August 2026. During its cinema run, Coyote vs. Acme garnered over $88 million globally, with some reports estimating the total closer to $100 million. IGN's review awarded the film a 9 out of 10, praising its understanding of the classic Looney Tunes characters and calling it one of the year's best-reviewed movies.
The digital release arrives approximately 32 days after the film's theatrical debut. While its availability on specific streaming services remains unconfirmed, preorders for DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K editions are currently open. This follows Warner Bros.' ongoing corporate shifts, with Paramount emerging as a potential buyer in a larger deal that may include stipulations regarding theatrical releases, leaving a hopeful outlook for future animation investments.
