Coyote vs. Acme's opening weekend is in the books at $15.5M domestic: $5.3M Friday, $5.8M Saturday, and a $4.4M Sunday close, down 25.0% from the Saturday peak. That's the shape a family title wants — a genuine Saturday build before the expected Sunday step-down, rather than a straight fade from the opening night.
The years of "will this even come out" noise are over. What's left is an ordinary, respectable family-title weekend.
A 25.0% Saturday-to-Sunday drop is well within the normal range for this kind of release — family titles typically hold Sunday reasonably close to Saturday's number rather than collapsing the way an adult-skewing opener sometimes does once the weekend curiosity wears off. Landing the full frame at $15.5M, on the back of a Saturday that actually beat Friday, is a clean confirmation that the film found a real weekend audience rather than a single opening-night rush.
No budget figure is confirmed yet, so there's no recovery ratio to run. What the weekend does establish is a baseline: this animated-live-action hybrid, built around a long-delayed release history, opened respectably rather than disappearing quietly the way its production troubles once threatened.
