It took a splash of “Ketchup”, but at least one film casualty of the Warner Bros./Discovery merger is getting a reprieve.

Ketchup Entertainment picked up the North American rights to The Day the Earth Blew Up: a Looney Tunes Movie and will give the film a theatrical release. The Day the Earth Blew Up was previously greenlit to air on Max but later joined the pile of completed or nearly completed films that were to be used as Warner Bros’ financial write-offs.

Even after that, though, Warner Bros. Animation was able to try to find another distributor, and production continued. Other films, like the animated/live-action hybrid Coyote vs Acme, weren’t so lucky, and either could not or did not find secondary distrubutors. Warner Bros. rejected offers from Amazon, Netflix, and Paramount, which reportedly also proposed a theatrical release for the film, for not meeting their asking price for Coyote vs. Acme.

The DC Batgirl movie and Scoob: Holiday Haunt! were also canned post-production by Warner Bros. after the 2002 merger, and on Friday, Warner dropped Fixed, a finished animated film from director Genndy Tartakovsky, from its release schedule.

Fixed features Adam DeVine, Idris Elba, Kathryn Hahn, Fred Armisen, Bobby Moynihan and Beck Bennet as voice talent. The adult-oriented animated film centers on Bull (DeVine), a bloodhound who decides to embrace his final night before getting neutered.

Rights for Fixed have reverted to production house Sony, which is shopping the project to other distribution channels. WBD worked with the team producing Fixed to cover costs related to production.

The Day the Earth Blew Up was directed by Pete Browngardt and stars two-time Emmy Award-winner Eric Bauza reprising his roles as lifelong friends Daffy Duck and Porky Pig. The two “uncover a sinister alien invasion plot while working at the local bubble gum factory. Together with Petunia Pig, the unlikely heroes embark on a high-stakes mission to fight off zombies and aliens while delivering all the gags and visuals recognized by Looney Tunes fans,” according to the film’s official logline.

“The Day the Earth Blew Up is a historical moment for the Looney Tunes franchise, and we are proud to be partnering with Warner Bros. Animation to bring this film to audiences theatrically. We cannot wait for audiences of all ages to experience one of the smartest animated films in recent years,” shared Gareth West, CEO of Ketchup Entertainment in a statement.

The Day the Earth Blew Up premiered at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival back in June to glowing reviews. No premiere date has been announced yet for the film, which will be in theaters nationwide.
