Three years ago, today never felt possible. That was when Warner Bros. unceremoniously and rather mysteriously shelved its upcoming film, Coyote vs. Acme. Years passed with the film in limbo until Ketchup Entertainment picked it up and spent a year building the hype, and now it’s in theaters. The whole thing feels like a contraption worthy of Wile E. Coyote himself. To mark the occasion, the film’s director, Dave Green, released a little message on social media to thank everyone for taking the wild journey. We’ve transcribed it below. COYOTE VS. ACME IS FINALLY, GLORIOUSLY, IN THEATERS NOW. Which means one thing. WE WON. You can go see this movie. In a theater. In your favorite seat. With your favorite snacks. With your favorite people. You can head into a dark room and laugh with strangers. Together. Congratulations to everyone who made this happen. This victory is a shared experience in so many ways. It’s a record of the cast and crew, post, prep, and animation teams who poured so much love and passion into it over years and years. It’s shared, permanently, with the audience who fought so hard for its survival. Your fight is the reason this film finally made it to the big screen.
