Meep, meep. 'Coyote vs. Acme' opens with $15.5 million, 'Spider-Man' stays No. 1 for fifth weekend

The Washington Times reported on recent box office results, highlighting the debut of 'Coyote vs. Acme,' a Looney Tunes film that had previously been canceled by Warner Bros. The movie opened with $15.5 million in ticket sales, securing second place at the box office. Meanwhile, 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' remained the top-grossing film for the fifth consecutive weekend, earning $22.2 million domestically and reaching a worldwide total of $2.33 billion. Other notable films included the underperforming 'The Dog Stars,' which opened with $8 million, and 'The Odyssey,' which dropped to third place with $14.3 million. 'Coyote vs. Acme' faced initial cancellation due to Warner Bros.' decision to take a tax write-off instead of releasing it, but it eventually secured distribution through Ketchup Entertainment. The film received positive reviews and has potential for ancillary revenue.
