Tom and Jerry grossed 46.5 million in the United States and Canada and 90 million in other territories for a worldwide total of $36.54 million from 2,479 theaters on its first day of release it went on to debut to 14.1 million the second best opening weekend of the pandemic behind Warner brothers’ December release Wonder Woman 1984 $16.7 million the opening weekend audiences were 51% female and 46% under the age of 17 while 35% was Hispanic 33% Caucasian 21% African-American American and 11% Asian David Gross who runs the movie consulting firm franchise entertainment research said of the figure with half of theaters still closed the pandemic still a threat and Tom and Jerry available at home this is a very good opening in its second weekend the film grossed $6.6 million and in its third made $4 million finishing second behind newcomer Rya and The Last Dragon both times the film was initially released in seven International markets grossing 1.45 million Singapore AED with 457 qus by its second weekend of international release the film was playing in 16 markets including debuting at number one in Brazil $746,000 and Mexico $395,000 aggressively mediocre the updated version of Tom and Jerry that premieres in theaters and on HBO Max today is a depressing Affair a film that reminds one of similarly Hollow uses of beloved properties like Yogi Bear and the Smurfs although at least those knew to focus on their Timeless characters Tom and Jerry barely understands the physical comedy that made the cat and mouse first round entries in the animated Hall of Fame focusing instead on a celebrity wedding at a fancy New York hotel and the people who work there a few sequences of classic T&J comedy aren’t nearly enough to make up for the dull plotting and flat characters in this soulless product one that will fail equally for adults who grew up on Tom and Jerry and their kids who have never heard of these characters Tom and Jerry is a liveaction animated hybrid that takes place in a world in which all animals are animated but all humans are real but the film barely explores this dynamic in favor of centering a New Yorker named Kayla Khloe Grace Moritz who basically cons her way into a Hospitality job at a fancy Big Apple Hotel the week before a high-profile wedding there between household names Ben Colin Jost and pra pvy sharder as the planning for the wedding gets underway Kayla discovers that Jerry has taken up Residence at the hotel and so she hires his mortal enemy Tom to take care of the singular infestation before all eyes are on them her boss Mr dubos Rob Delany supports Kayla but co-worker Terrence Michael pea is eager to take down the newcomer just because Ken Jong plays the Hotel chef you’ve been warned the Fatal flaw of Tom and Jerry it’s shockingly unfunny the moments of creative physical humor are few and far between and there’s not a single verbal joke that stands out Tom and Jerry needs EX extended sequences of animated creativity and writer Kevin Costello spends way too much time with the dull humans of this version when fans really just want to see the Rivalry between two classic characters the scene in which Tom tries to reach Jerry across a power line hints at what this movie could have been if it had trusted its silent characters in say the manner that ardman trusts fans of sha the Sheep while morett throws herself into the bad material and tries to make the best of it everything falls flat around her director Tim story can’t find the Rhythm or Focus to make the humor work and seems almost purposefully uninterested in his human characters I get it they’re boring but then why are we spending so much time with them and why are the references so stunningly dated the film opens with a lengthy sequence of pigeons who will never be seen again singing A Tribe Called quests can I kick it great song sure but strange choice in 2021 and a later scene includes references to the Silence of the Lambs and the Warriors I can only presume that this script has been sitting around for decades and the people hired to do rewrites to modernize it fell asleep on the job I don’t blame them here’s the time wherein critics often feel like Scrooge coming down on harmless animated fun for kids but trust this father of three when I report that even the little one ones will check out here and find something better to do and the truth is that this Market is crowded right now Paramount plus drops a new SpongeBob movie next week and Disney plus will Premiere Rya and The Last Dragon for those willing to pay an extra fee and even on HBO Max where most people will watch this movie there are dozens of titles including almost all of the studio gibli catalog there are simply better choices than Tom and Jerry

million Singapore AED with 457 kums by its second weekend of international release the film was playing in 16 markets including debuting at number one in Brazil $746,000 and Mexico $395,000 aggressively mediocre the updated version of Tom and Jerry that premieres in theaters and on HBO Max today is a depressing affair a film that reminds one of similarly Hollow uses of beloved properties like Yogi Bear and the Smurfs although at least those new to focus on their Timeless characters Tom and Jerry barely understands the physical comedy that made the cat and mouse first round entries in the animated Hall of Fame focusing instead on a celebrity wedding at a fancy New York hotel and the people who work there a few sequences of classic T&J comedy aren’t nearly enough to make up for the dull plotting and flat characters in this soulless product one that will fail equally for adults who grew up on Tom and Jerry and their kids who have never heard of these characters Tom and Jerry is a live-action animated hybrid that takes place in a world in which all animals are animated but all humans are real but the film barely explores this dynamic in favor of centering a New Yorker named Kayla Khloe Grace Moritz who basically cons her way into a Hospitality job at a fancy Big Apple Hotel the week before a high-profile wedding there between household names Ben Colin Jost and pra pvy sharder as the planning for the wedding gets underway Kaya discovers that Jerry has taken up Residence at the hotel and so she hires his mortal enemy Tom to take care of the singular infestation before all eyes are on them her boss Mr dubos robbed Delany supports Kayla but co-worker Terren Michael Pia is eager to take down the newcomer just because Ken Jong plays the Hotel chef you’ve been warned the Fatal flaw of Tom and Jerry it’s shockingly unfunny the moments of creative physical humor are few and far between and there’s not a single verbal joke that stands out Tom and Jerry needs extended sequences of animated creativity and writer Kevin Costello spends way too much time with the dull humans of this version when fans really just want to see the Rivalry between two classic characters a scene in which Tom tries to reach Jerry across a power line hints at what this movie could have been if it had trusted its silent characters in say the manner that ardman trusts fans of sha the Sheep while morett throws herself into the bad material and tries to make the best of it everything falls flat around her director Tim story can’t find the Rhythm or Focus to make the humor work and seems almost purposefully uninterested in his human characters I get it they’re boring but then why are we spending so much time with them and why are the references so stunningly dated the film opens with a lengthy sequence of pigeons who will never be seen again singing A Tribe Called quests can I kick it great song sure but strange choice in 2021 and a later scene includes references to the Silence of the Lambs and the Warriors I can only presume that this script has been sitting around for decades and the people hired to do rewrites to modernize it fell asleep on the job I don’t blame them here’s the time wherein critics often feel like Scrooge coming down on harmless animated fun for kids but trust this father of three when I report that even the little ones will check out here and find something better to do and the truth is that this Market is crowded right now Paramount plus drops a new SpongeBob movie next week and Disney plus will Premiere Rya and The Last Dragon for those willing to pay an extra fee and even on HBO Max where most people will watch this movie there are dozens of titles including almost all of the studio gibli catalog there are simply better choices than Tom and Jerry almost anything really Tom and Jerry released as Tom and Jerry the the movie in the United Kingdom is a 2021 American live-action animated slapstick comedy film based on the

Jerry whose presence threatens New York City’s fanciest hotel and its planned high-profile Indian themed wedding Warner Brothers Executives wanted the film to be what Tom and Jerry is as the studio understands how much of its history is rooted in these iconic characters from a liveaction film 2009 to an animated film in 2015 and to a hybrid film combining liveaction and animation in 2018 the film was in development hell as Warner Brothers tried finding a writer to pen the right take on the characters the production innovated including the introduction of software creating traditional animation techniques and the inclusion of a 2d draw over phase in a computer animation workflow which considered pivotal for VFX animators to seamlessly replicate the style and animation of a traditional approach filming took place from July to September 2019 the film also draws inspiration from Silent comedies such as Charlie Chaplain films as reference for the filmmakers to explore a lot of humor and storytelling associated with silent characters other cited influences for the film story include Home Alone 2 lost in New York and Dunston in many elements from the original cartoons were
