Pic will go up against DreamWorks Animation/Universal’s The Croods 2. Then, on Christmas, comes Universal’s News of the World and an untitled Paramount/Skydance Media movie.
Tom & Jerry arrives in the wake of Amblin/Fox’s West Side Story, Paramount’s Coming to America 2, Sony’s Uncharted and Warner Bros./Legendary’s Dune, all opening on Dec. 18, 2020.
Warners will still hold on to April 16, 2021 for an untitled event film. The only other competition on this date is an untitled Universal event pic.
