Actress Lana Condor is celebrating the unexpected success of "Coyote vs. ACME," a film initially shelved by Warner Bros. Discovery in 2023. After being acquired by Ketchup Entertainment last year, the movie has now grossed $54.6 million at the North American box office.
Condor expressed her "unbelievable" surprise at the film's release, noting her confusion when it was first pulled. She recounted a conversation with co-star Will Forte, who believed she had been officially informed of the film's cancellation.
The experience led Condor to question the film's quality, especially given its extensive use of green screen and CGI. Despite these doubts, the film received positive feedback during test screenings and has now achieved box office success.
Reflecting on her recent projects, Condor is now prioritizing a return to romance films, a genre where she first gained prominence. While she enjoyed exploring action and thriller genres, she feels her true passion lies in romantic narratives.
