DL: HOLY FRACKBURGERS, Ketchup is in negotiations to buy theatrical rights to COYOTE VS ACME for $50 million notfabio Mar 19, 09:59

2026 release (I guess gives them time to put together a full fledged marketing team) {nm} notfabio Mar 19, 10:00

With what money? Do they also sell actual ketchup? {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Mar 19, 10:12

Empire City repeated some pretty out there rumors on Hypnotic, but even DL is "we don't know where Ketchup is getting the money" {nm} notfabio Mar 19, 10:22

Would be interesting to see how selling it at a $20 million loss is more beneficial for WB that claiming it all as a loss. notfabio Mar 19, 10:25

There's always ways to raise money. The better question is how sustainable they are since they've had nothing but loses with their releases Moviesnob Mar 19, 11:40

anything to get it out of the Zaslav trash can. partner up with Village Roadshow {nm} uncle michelle Mar 19, 11:56

They filed for bankruptcy 3 days back (with you on the Zaslav bit) Tallwonder Mar 19, 12:27

If this goes through everyone's gonna lose money on this Tallwonder Mar 19, 12:32

I could see someone playing up the "see the movie Hollywood didn't want you to see" angle if they got a savvy marketing team {nm} notfabio Mar 19, 12:40

That works for something like Terrifier, but unsure if that would be too inside Hollywood for a PG family film. {nm} notfabio Mar 19, 12:42

Outside of hardcore fandoms, Entertainment mags & HSX how many know/care what's happened? Tallwonder Mar 19, 12:54

Oh with it going to Ketchup, 100% it will be see we told you so unless everyone rallies around it. Ryan Reynolds/Taylor Swift/you name it. {nm} notfabio Mar 19, 13:16

DL: Ketchup Entertainment is negotiating an all-rights acquisition of [CVACM] {nm} Antibody Mar 19, 13:31

Oh, all-rights for $50m makes much more sense. They can sell of international distribution and make back a good chunk of that righta way TheWeekendWarrior Mar 19, 20:33
