20th Century’s “The Dog Stars” and Keylight Pictures’ “Coyote vs. Acme” both debuted in theaters on Friday, but Sony and Marvel’s “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” will once again win the weekend. “Coyote vs. Acme” fared best of the two major newcomers, landing in second place with an estimated $5.2 million domestically on Friday from 3,575
If you went back to November 2023 and told “Coyote vs. Acme” director Dave Green that his legal comedy Looney Toons would make its debut at San Diego Comic-Con, he probably wouldn’t believe it. Of course, that’s largely because that’s when Green learned that Warner Bros. Discovery had filed the film as a tax write-off.
