BOX OFFICE REPORT: What A Weekend For COYOTE!
COYOTE VS. ACME opened to $15.5 MILLION at the domestic box office (and $24M worldwide), finishing #2 in the country just behind Spider-Man: Brand New Day!
Along the way, it delivered the biggest opening weekend in our partners Ketchup Entertainment history, nearly 5X their previous record. As for Legion M, it’s safe to say this is the biggest opening for a Legion M project to date… pop the champagne!
Audiences are loving it too, with an A CinemaScore and incredible Rotten Tomatoes scores. For a movie that was never supposed to see the light of day, that's pretty awesome.
We want to say a huge THANK YOU to the Legion M community. You bought tickets, brought friends and family, posted, shared, and helped spread the word. Social media has been on fire with praise for the film, and you helped to make it happen.
We hope that you take personal pride in the success of this opening weekend as well. Movie fans rescued this film by making noise and demanding its release, but you’re in a special tier all your own. As investors in Legion M, you can tell your friends that you are a part of this film. Legion M was one of the first companies to sign on to distribute the movie with Ketchup, and our studio investors, as well as those who invested in the Legion M Film Fund, are the ones who made it happen. Cheers to all of you!
For all of us at Legion M, it has been an honor to play a role in helping save this film, and now helping it find the success and audience it deserves. This is exactly the kind of thing Legion M was created to do.
And we're not done! We expect COYOTE VS. ACME to retain a lot of theaters heading into Labor Day, giving us another great opportunity to keep building on the momentum.
So continue spreading the word, keep bringing friends and family, and if you haven't seen COYOTE VS. ACME in the theater yet…
What the heck are you waiting for?! 🐺🧨
