‘Coyote vs. Acme’ debuts with an estimated $15.5 million at the box office, according to multiple reports, as it takes the top new-release spot over the weekend. In the same period, ‘Spider-Man’ remains in first place for a fifth consecutive weekend.
The outlets note that ‘Coyote vs. Acme’ has an unusual path to theaters. Three years earlier, Warner Bros. abruptly canceled the project, but it later received a renewed push through Ketchup Entertainment. The reports frame the opening weekend figures as part of the film’s return after the cancellation.
While the headlines across outlets share the same central numbers—$15.5 million for ‘Coyote vs. Acme’ and ‘Spider-Man’ staying No. 1—the coverage largely differs only in wording and attribution. City News Toronto specifies the information as coming from an AP dateline. Other summaries focus on the cancellation-to-release context alongside the weekend performance.
