Warner Bros. day and release date in theaters Tom Jerry in theaters and on HBO Max had what would be considered a very solid day during the pandemic, with $ 4 million on Friday and $ 12.5 million expected in three days in 2,475 cinemas, according to Warner Bros. This is a number that beats Universal 3 / Dreamworks Animation Croods: New Age, which raised $ 9.7 million over the 3-day Thanksgiving weekend.
The date, Tom Jerry is the second best premiere of a film released during the pandemic, after August, after Warner Bros. ‘ Wonder Woman 1984, which made $ 16.4 million. Tom & Jerry was directed by Tim Story and produced by Chris DeFaria.
Warners posted these numbers on Tom Jerry in a current exhibition scenario, where about 50% of all cinemas are still closed, as well as the number 2 Regal chain, with New York scheduled to open next Friday. Moviegoing will only get better: Los Angeles is due to reopen next month too, so we just have to wait for the capacity restrictions to loosen.

Furthermore, we hear Tom Jerry it didn’t do too badly in China.
CinemaScore is great on A- and PostTrak, as well as 81% and four stars. Tom Jerry earned a good 60% recommendation for the general public and a 66% recommendation for children. The proportion between women and men was 51% to 49%, with 46% under 17 years old. Participation in diversity showed 35% Hispanics, 33% Caucasians, 21% African-Americans and 11% Asians / others.
The expectation is that if Universal can have a slow burn Croods 2, which will reach $ 52.5 million in the United States this weekend and was number 1 on five of the 14 consecutive weekends, so you can Tom Jerry. Again, let’s not rush into it: these box office numbers are not at pre-pandemic levels, but show that the financial tide at the national box office is changing.
When cinemas first reopened in some parts of the country, it was feared that families would not venture out. But clearly, with the increase in vaccines, the fear of returning to the cinema is slowly decreasing.
Again, we’ve been saying this for the past few months, but Warners is really trying to make these films work in the areas of the country where cinemas are open, despite the strategy of the day and the date. Most of the time, movies from Netflix and Amazon don’t make money in their limited run to the movies to be in these respective streamers (compared to the latter, they started adopting this limited cinema / streaming strategy with their Scott Z.
