Yeah, that's what I've heard, but how expensive can a goddamn Wile E. Coyote movie be?

It just seems a little odd to me that this is the big "public" write-off, considering some of the trash they've put out that didn't break even.

They are taking a $70+ mil write-off. Rumors say that Netflix offered $40million but the write off is more attractive.

As someone else commented, if WB got a $40mill offer, they should only be allowed to take a $30mill write off.
