Distribution deal and costs

The indie distributor paid fifty million dollars for the rights to the movie. They also sold foreign territories before the film opened in cinemas. The production cost reached seventy million dollars according to available reports.

Global earnings performance

Ticket sales have pushed total revenue past one hundred million dollars globally. This result contrasts with the earlier decision by studio leadership to write down the asset as a tax loss. Theater owners receive half of every ticket sold during the run.

Comparison to other releases

Another Looney Tunes film distributed by Ketchup Entertainment earned less money recently. The earlier project was quietly offloaded by Warner Bros Discovery before its wide release. Moviegoers supported this specific title more than the previous adventure.
