Hollywood’s improbable underdog “ Coyote vs. Acme ” has finally landed a global theatrical release date. Star Will Forte announced at the film’s panel at San Diego Comic-Con that the live-action/animation hybrid will premiere on Aug. 28, 2026.

If the long, twist-filled “Coyote vs. Acme” fight for a release was “It’s a Wonderful Life,” then Ketchup Entertainment would be all the townspeople at the end (79-year-old spoiler) chipping in to make sure George Bailey doesn’t go under.

The long-running saga of the infamously shelved live-action/animated hybrid film, Coyote vs. Acme, looks like it will finally see a happy ending with a global theatrical release in August 2026.
