"Tom and Jerry" topped the North American box office with $13.7 million in its first week and topped the domestic box office with $80.3 million

Warner's live-action Tom and Jerry movie grossed $13.7 million in North America in its first week, easily topping the North American box office chart. This is also one of the highest-grossing movies in the United States since cinemas were closed across the country a year ago due to the epidemic.

"Tom and Jerry" has a global total revenue of 38.8 million US dollars. It was released in mainland China on February 26 and earned 80.3 million yuan in the first weekend. The production cost of this film was only 50 million US dollars.

Shawn Robbins, chief analyst at Box Office Pro, told Variety that the box office results don’t just depend on parents wanting to get out of their homes. He said: “There’s no doubt that during the pandemic, parents and children are freeing themselves when watching these successful family movies, but I also think the film industry is looking for the beginning of a bigger box office explosion trend.”

The live-action version of "Tom and Jerry" tells the story of Tom and Jerry coming to the bustling metropolis of New York, and the girl Kayla, played by Moretz, has just started working at a luxury hotel when she encounters a problem - Jerry, a mouse, wants to settle down in the hotel, which puts the century wedding that the hotel has recently undertaken in jeopardy. So Tom is hired by Kayla to become a hotel employee to drive Jerry away, and the old enemies are at odds again.
