Ketchup Entertainment released the final trailer for the hybrid Looney Tunes film "Coyote vs. Acme" on Thursday [3].

The release marks a pivotal moment for the project, which was rescued from cancellation to reach a theatrical debut. The film aims to revitalize interest in the classic characters by blending live-action and animation in a new narrative format [4, 5].

Will Forte, Lana Condor, and John Cena star in the film alongside various Looney Tunes characters [1, 2, 3]. The plot centers on Wile E. Coyote, whose long-standing rivalry with the Road Runner takes a turn as he faces off against the ACME corporation. The final trailer highlights an action-packed fight, showcasing the chaotic energy associated with the ACME brand [1].

Following the digital release of the trailer, the first public screening is scheduled for Saturday at San Diego Comic-Con [1, 2]. This event serves as the primary promotional push to build hype among fans of the franchise and the cast before the movie hits theaters [1, 5].

The film is scheduled to open in theaters on Aug. 28 [2], with the broader release window set for August 2026 [4]. This timeline follows a period of uncertainty regarding the film's completion and distribution after it was nearly shelved by previous stakeholders [5].

Ketchup Entertainment is now leading the charge to ensure the film finds a wide audience. By leveraging high-profile stars and the massive platform of Comic-Con, the studio is attempting to turn a once-cancelled project into a summer cinematic event [1, 5].

“The film is scheduled to open in theaters on August 28”

The release of the final trailer and the strategic screening at San Diego Comic-Con indicate a concerted effort to salvage a high-budget project that previously faced cancellation. By securing a theatrical window in August 2026, Ketchup Entertainment is testing whether the nostalgia of the Looney Tunes brand, combined with modern star power, can overcome the film's troubled production history.
