Coyote vs. Acme, a live-action/animated Looney Tunes film, received positive reviews but gained additional intrigue due to Warner Bros. Discovery's attempt to shelve the near-complete project for tax write-off purposes. The studio's decision drew public attention to its habit of quietly dropping finished films, ironically boosting interest in the movie.
Background
Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav has faced criticism for shelving multiple near-complete films, including 'The Dark Tower' and 'Babylon,' reportedly for tax write-off purposes rather than artistic or market reasons.
