Warner Bros. gets a pleasant surprise with 'Tom & Jerry' despite the movie's simultaneous streaming on HBO Max.

More Coverage“Tom & Jerry” also has made $25.1 million internationally, bringing its worldwide total to $38.8 million, according to studio estimates. The film, directed by Tim Story and based on the characters created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, stars Chloë Grace Moretz.

Theaters in some crucial markets are about to come online. On Friday, New York City theaters will be allowed to open at 25% capacity for the first time since they closed last March. Also next week, Disney launches the animated “Raya and the Last Dragon” in theaters and on Disney+ for $30, on top of the subscription cost.

Though Warner Bros. was criticized by some for abandoning movie theaters when it announced plans to send all of its 2021 films to HBO Max as well as cinemas, the studio is a lifeline to theaters. Warner Bros. films — including “The Little Things,” “Judas and the Black Messiah” and “Wonder Woman 1984” — accounted for about 80% of domestic ticket sales over the weekend.Private rental bookings are helping the modest return of moviegoing. Family, friends and “pods” have booked an entire theater.

'Tom & Jerry' gives box office some life with $13.7M openingWarner Bros.' live-action-animation hybrid “Tom & Jerry” has debuted with $13.7 million in ticket sales, the best domestic opening this year. The strong start could signal a not-so-distant recovery for theaters, despite just 42% of U.S. cinemas being open. It wasn't for the pandemic they probably would have made a lot more box office sale. It could be because Tom and Jerry were never that big! I very much appreciated RollingStone review. I will still watch it just for the nostalgia value.
