The Day The Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie is causing hijinks as it is about to reach its first box office milestone after the second week of its run, Collider reports.

Despite The Day The Earth Blew Up‘s bumpy road at the box office, the Looney Tunes may return to the big screen once again as the film’s distributor, Ketchup Entertainment is currently in talks with Warner Bros. Discovery on acquiring the shelved Coyote Vs. Acme for around $50 million.
