Strong critical reception and upward revisions in tracking estimates have anchored trader sentiment around a $14–20 million opening for “Coyote vs. Acme,” with the 17–20 million band holding the highest implied probability. After Warner Bros. shelved the completed live-action/animation hybrid in 2023, Ketchup Entertainment acquired it for roughly $50 million and secured an August 28 release; the film’s high-profile backstory, record trailer views, and 96% Rotten Tomatoes score have generated notable awareness despite a modest marketing push. Late-August timing limits family competition, yet soft presales and the distributor’s scale cap upside potential. The tightly bunched probabilities reflect uncertainty over whether word-of-mouth and the film’s underdog narrative can push it toward the higher end of current forecasts.
