Congressman Demands Federal Probe into Warner Bros.' Handling of 'Coyote vs. Acme'

Rep. Joaquin Castro has called for a federal investigation into Warner Bros. Discovery over their handling of the film "Coyote vs. Acme." The studio had initially decided to shelve the movie for tax write-offs, but reversed their decision after facing backlash from the creative community. Castro argues that this practice is predatory and anti-competitive, and urges the Justice Department and FTC to review the conduct. The discussion comes in the wake of antitrust lawsuits in other industries, and Castro previously wrote letters asking for an examination of the Warner Media and Discovery merger.
