Continue to be reminded that I love films, and the making of films, talking about how to make films, but I hate the industry giants so much
Movie "Coyote v. Acme" (2023) cost 70mil to make
On November 9, 2023, Warner Bros. officials announced that the film was completed, but that they would not release it, because Warner Bros. Discovery
preferred to claim a tax loss of about $30 million. The crew was not informed of the decision until after the film was completed
On November 13, 2023,
Puck reported Warner Bros. Discovery leaders had reversed their decision and allowed the filmmakers the option to shop the film to other distributors.
On February 9, 2024, TheWrap reported that Warner Bros. Discovery had rejected the bids from Netflix, Amazon, and Paramount. The company wanted $75–$80 million to sell the film, but no distributors met their price, and
Warner Bros. Discovery rejected counter bids. The company considered shelving and deleting the film (which remained in limbo at the time) and
again claiming it as a tax loss.
And imagine working on a movie and you didn't even get to see it!
