Warner Bros Canceled Lana Condor’s Coyote vs. Acme
It’s the third time that Warner Bros is making headlines for canceling highly anticipated projects, out of the blue. Previously sending shockwaves for shelving the Max-destined Batgirl and the animated Scoob Holiday Haunt! Warner Bros studios now baffled fans by canceling the James Gunn-produced Coyote vs. Acme.
The live-action, CG animation hybrid that completed principal photography last year in New Mexico, even hired a stellar cast – John Cena, Lana Condor, and more. Further, according to Deadline, the project took an estimated $30M write-down on the $70M production.
Sources have also revealed that Coyote vs. Acme is a completed movie with very good test scores, and yet Warner Bros felt it was not worth the cost to release the film theatrically or to sell it to other buyers. And now, although the movie was slated to release on July 21, 2023, Warner Bros no longer holds any intentions for the project.
