The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most sources agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

“Coyote vs. Acme” opened with an estimated $15.5 million in North American ticket sales, landing at No. 2 after Warner Bros. shelved the completed Looney Tunes film three years ago. Ketchup Entertainment revived and released the live-action/animation hybrid after Warner had planned to abandon it as a tax write-off. “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” remained No. 1 for a fifth weekend with $22.2 million in U.S. and Canadian theaters. “The Odyssey” followed at No. 3 with $14.3 million.
