In the vein of classic courtroom films like Kramer vs. Kramer and A Few Good Men, a new legal cinematic masterpiece is heading to a theater near you this summer. Naturally, I'm referring to Coyote vs. Acme, the long-awaited Looney Tunes live-action/animated feature. So, when can you mark the theatrical release date for Coyote vs. Acme on your personal planner?
The Coyote vs. Acme release date is August 28th, 2026 in theaters. It has been quite a while since the movie was shelved by Warner Brothers in 2023. Fortunately, the movie was subsequently saved in March 2025 by The Day the Earth Blew Up distributor Ketchup Entertainment. And naturally, it's just one of the many big-screen release dates to keep in mind this summer. Here's the official teaser trailer for Coyote Vs. Acme:
Coyote vs. Acme stars Will Forte and John Cena. The screenplay was written by Samy Burch from a story by Burch, James Gunn and Jeremy Slater, itself based on the 1990 New Yorker article of the same name by Ian Frazier. The storyline sees the long-suffering Wile E. Coyote bringing a lawsuit against the Acme Corporation, the company famous for selling apparently inferior Road Runner eradication equipment. (And, judging by the trailer, there might be more than a little bit of in-joking about the Acme Corporation as a whole, as well.)
The release date for Coyote vs. Acme in theaters is August 28th, 2026.
