Wile E. Coyote May Never Outsmart Warner Bros.: John Cena's 'Coyote vs Acme' Shelved Again

Acme's latest trap seems to have ensnared itself. John Cena's "Coyote vs Acme," a live-action/CG hybrid film exploring the classic Looney Tunes rivalry, remains stuck in development purgatory. Despite interest from streaming giants and a theatrical offer, Warner Bros.' high asking price threatens to permanently shelve the $70 million project. ## After shelving the film in 2023, Warner Bros. briefly allowed shopping it around. Director Dave Green ("Earth to Echo", "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows") and producers Chris DeFaria and James Gunn hoped studios would bite. ## Per the report from The Wrap, Netflix, Amazon, and Paramount expressed interest, with Paramount even offering a theatrical release. However, Warner Bros. demanded a hefty $75-$80 million, effectively a $5-$10 million profit on their investment. Unwilling to counteroffer, potential buyers scurried away like the Road Runner dodging ACME missiles. ## Warner Bros. could choose to swallow a $35-$40 million tax write-off instead of accepting a lower offer. This financial maneuver, while potentially saving them millions, would permanently lock away the film from audiences. ## Will We Ever See Cena Wrestle ACME? The future of "Coyote vs Acme" is uncertain. With Warner Bros. unwilling to budge on their price, the film could face permanent oblivion, leaving fans wondering if Cena will ever get to outsmart the notorious corporation. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

Box Office: 'Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom' Scored A Low Opening Weekend In India

Mumbai, December 25 - Warner Bros. Pictures superhero movie Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom has had a disappointing extended first weekend at the Indian box office. ## The movie was already carrying a low buzz, plus, it was up against Indian heavyweights this Christmas weekend. The only hope for the movie to have some sort of respite was to get positive word of mouth which didn't happen, resulting in a flop start at the box office.## The Jason Momoa-starrer sequel grossed approximately 12.80 crores in India in the first 4-days. The first movie "Aquaman" had grossed approx. 29 crores in its 3-day opening weekend in 2018, but here, "Aquamen 2" is unlikely to reach that mark in its lifetime run. ## Directed by James Wan, the film also had a soft start in its home market, North America, with just $28.1 million (235 crores gross) in the 3-day weekend, including premiers. Outside North America, "Aquaman 2" scored $80 million (665 crores), for $108.10 million (900 crores) globally in the opening weekend. ## China was the biggest market for the film, even bigger than North America, with $31.1 million opening weekend gross. Mexico was the third biggest contributor with $5 million, followed by Indonesia with $3.6 million, and France with $3.2 million. The film carries a budget of over $200 million. ## Stay tuned...

Box Office: 'The Marvels' Scored A Low First Weekend In India and Worldwide

Mumbai, November 13 - Marvel Studios' latest superhero movie The Marvels has a low weekend at the Indian box office which is a shocker. Marvel movies have historically done well in India but the same is not the case with the latest flick which even failed to beat the pandemic hit "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings". ## The sequel to the highest-grossing female-led superhero movie "Captain Marvel" scored just approximately 6.40 crores net collection in all versions in India in the first 3 days. "Shang-Chi", which previously had the lowest opening weekend for an MCU title since the multiverse saga in India, scored approx. 10.60 crores net. ## "The Marvels" took the opening of 2.50 crores net which is again the lowest since the introduction of the multiverse saga. The trends didn't improve on the second day (Saturday) as it remained flat and dropped on Sunday after the arrival of Salman Khan's "Tiger 3" to dismiss its chances of having some sort of outcome. ## The Brie Larson-led film was the least hyped Marvel Cinematic Universe title in a long time which pretty much sealed its fate at the box office as it couldn't rise above the low expectations in India. ## It was not only India where "The Marvels" massively underperformed, the situation was pretty much the same all over the world as it failed to beat the pessimist box office projection to gross just $110 million (920 crores) worldwide over a 5-day weekend. At the domestic (North America) box office, the sequel grossed just $47 million (390 crores) over the 3-day weekend. ## "The Marvels" has a production budget of approx. $275 million and with not-so-good word of mouth, it might not be able to cross the budget to end up being one of the biggest box office bombs in the MCU. ## Stay tuned...
