What happens when you spend tens of millions of dollars making a movie, finish the thing… and then decide nobody is allowed to see it?
That’s the bizarre story of Coyote vs. Acme, the live-action/animation comedy that somehow became almost as chaotic behind the scenes as anything involving rockets, anvils, explosives, and one extremely unlucky desert predator.
In this video, we’re talking about how Coyote vs. Acme went from completed movie to corporate casualty, why the decision to shelve it caused such a massive backlash, and how the whole situation became one of the strangest examples of modern Hollywood decision-making.
Because apparently making a movie is the easy part.
Actually releasing it?
THAT’S where things get complicated.
💬 What do you think? Should studios ever be allowed to permanently shelve a completely finished movie? Let me know in the comments!
