“Coyote vs. Acme” had a big preview night last night. The total was $1.7 million, which is amazing considering everything that’s preceded this moment.

Dropped by Warner Bros, raved about by critics after Ketchup Entertainment ponied up $50 million in a daring rescue, the live action animated legal comedy has a 96% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Cleverly directed by Dave Green, “Coyote” stars Will Forte, Lana Condor, Luis Guzman, and John Cena, each one note perfect. Eric Bauza supplies the voices of a dozen Looney Tunes characters including Road Runner, Bugs Bunny, Charlie Dog, Daffy Duck, Dr. Lorre, Elmer Fudd, Foghorn Leghorn, Gossamer, Porky Pig, and Tweety.

That’s all, folks!
