Coyote vs. Acme opened to $5.3M domestic on its first day, a respectable start for a family title carrying years of pre-release baggage after its original shelving made headlines.
Getting a fair opening number at all is the win here — the years of "will it even release" noise are finally behind it.
Without a confirmed budget, there's no recovery ratio to run yet, but $5.3M is a solid single-day figure for an animated-live-action hybrid built around a Looney Tunes property rather than an established modern franchise. Family openers of this kind lean heavily on the weekend — Friday numbers here are historically a smaller share of the three-day total than they are for action or horror titles, since weekend matinee traffic does most of the work.
The film's unusual road to release, including a period where it was reportedly written off entirely by its studio, gives this opening extra context: any number that lands it in theaters and drawing a crowd counts as a partial victory before the box office math even starts.
