Civilian animation nerd Mickey Dolphin joins The Box Office Podcast as Scott Mendelson, Jeremy Fuster and Lisa Laman break down the not-half-bad near-$16 million domestic debut for the shelved (by Warner Bros.) and rescued (by Ketchup Entertainment) Will Forte and John Cena-starring Looney Tunes movie. Everyone picks their favorite Looney Tunes character and then discusses…

* Bountiful box office updates for Spider-Man: Brand New Day and The Odyssey

* Lots and lots of discourse related to Coyote Vs. Acme

* Plenty of pointing and laughing at The Dog Stars

* Glasses are raised to both Buddy and It Ends

* How The Odyssey papered over an otherwise poor summer for IMAX

* A box office update for what might be a near-record summer movie season

* An update for (Hundreds of)Beavers -watch

* And more!
