It was released last Friday in the US, so this would be less than a week in the theaters. It was number 5 or so for the last week as well, so while it wasn’t a monetary success out of the gate it wasn’t like it pulled in zero dollars.
Heck, word of mouth could have worked in its favor, but guess we will never know. At least it was released instead of thrown in the trash like Coyote vs ACME.
It was originally produced as a direct to hbo/max movie, then sold to a small distribution company who didn’t do much advertising.
Max also pulled all the old Looney Tunes shorts from max, because apparently cartoons that were originally aimed at adults in theaters isn’t media for an adult audience that max is going for.
I think the Warner Bros executives don’t have a sense of humor and therefore hate Looney Tunes.
