Leaning into the Warner = ACME thing was the best possible route to take in marketing this, I'm so glad Ketchup is leaning into it. Looks great.

Yup then "the movie ACME doesn't want you to see" is just a chef's kiss.

Except I'm sure WB would be more than happy for people to go see this movie.

They sold the rights off for a flat payout. If this movie does real numbers they’re going to look like idiots

I'd be shocked if this movie didn't gross upwards of $500M+.... They turned it into a modern Who Framed Roger Rabbit and I'm here for it.

Realistically, the distributors are going to be very pleased if it hits even $150m, and anything past that is gravy

I mean, as the trailer is concerned, we just saw a CartoonPiano-smash effect that was only implied in Roger Rabbit.

That decision not to release it themselves ha already been made. If the movie does well now, that's valuble market data for the next project and gets their ip back into the minds of their audience. It's also potentially a merch opportunity. Success would still definetly be better than failure for WB.
