Warner Bros' Coyote vs. Acme opens in theaters today after weeks of uncertainty over whether the studio would shelve the film. The release follows what supporters call a multi-year fight to keep the movie alive, and social posts highlight the film's strong reception, citing a 95 percent critics score and a 91 percent audience score. Early reactions praise the movie's emotional core and satirical take on corporate greed, and several posts urge audiences to see it in theaters to ensure the film was not lost to studio decisions. Exhibitors are showing Coyote vs. Acme in premium formats, with 181 locations offering Dolby Cinema/Dolby Atmos, 77 offering D-BOX, and 67 offering 4DX. Promoters and viewers describe the release as a vindication for the cast and crew and a rebuke to executives who considered shelving the project.

I wanna see this I just don’t think I have the energy to see it in theaters right now. The last week or so has been rough for me. When it gets a Blu-ray I will get it for sure.

I will be very upset if you all let this movie fail.

Don't care what other opinions may be, but I laughed so hard I hurt. Also was a great flashback to being a kid watching looney toon cartoons before we watched movies. Yes I'm old and I miss pre movie cartoons.

Lord McPee2

Who cares. I'm gonna get really stoned and go see it.

As someone who already did their part (The UK and Ireland already have released the film), please buy and ticket and actually watch the film in Theatres. No waiting till streaming and no pirating. WATCH CINEMA THE WAY IT WAS MEANT TO IN THEATRES.

Go see #CoyoteVsACME this weekend! It's fun, and it is a movie miracle that the film wasn't destroyed by executives who have no respect for comedy or animation or Cinema.
