Studios cannot keep shelving movies for tax credits.
It’s unfair to the cast & crew. It’s unfair to tax-payers. It’s unfair to audiences.
If a good Looney Tunes movie isn’t viable, what is?
Lawyers need to work penalties in. The gov. needs to step up.
Or in 2026, unions will.
‘COYOTE VS ACME’ is now expected to be shelved and deleted forever.
Warner Bros wanted $75M - $80M for the film and rejected offers from Netflix, Amazon & Paramount, refusing to let them counter-offer.

Studios have no clue what movies will work, and what won’t.
