COYOTE VS ACME World Premiere Recap
Legion M investors have been to a lot of premieres and red carpet events over the years, but last night felt like something truly special. For those who don't know, this was a film that was never going to be released. It was developed, produced, and then shelved by Warner Brothers as a tax write-off... and it wasn't until the fans rallied together that they relented. Thanks to the fans, Coyote vs. ACME hits theaters THIS WEEKEND. The wait is over!
A movie that was shelved by the suits, and saved by the fans... it just goes to show what the power of fans can do when they unite behind a love of movies and a shared goal.
As a distribution partner on the film, it's an honor to be a small part of this huge moment in Hollywood history. And even more importantly: it was great to see all the Legion M investors in person who turned out for the premiere last night at the Director's Village in Westwood! Check out the premiere recap video here, the photos below, and don't forget to get your tickets to see the film this weekend!

Yes, Wile E. Coyote did bring the UCLA Bruin Marching Band with him to announce his entrance...
Green Day's Mike Dirnt had so much fun at the last Legion M premiere he turned up to celebrate a second time!
It was great to see Craig Kausen (grandson of the great Chuck Jones, creator of the Wile E. Coyote & Roadrunner characters) again! Thanks to him, the Chuck Jones Gallery hosted a Legion M meetup at San Diego Comic-Con a few weeks back.
Will Forte thanked the fans who helped save the film, adding "which is crazy because you haven't seen it yet!"
Legion M closed out the night with an unofficial afterparty at Rocco's in Westwood.
We want to say a special thank you to everyone who came out for the premiere last night, and to all the Legion M investors who are a part of this film, either directly as part of the Film Fund, or as Legion M company shareholders. Two major premieres in two weeks is something that we hope to repeat more often!
Coyote vs. ACME opens in theaters across the country, and we have A LOT of theaters for this one.
