In Spain, cinemas are operating at 30–50 percent capacity. That is also the case in France, at least until the end of January. Theatres are indefinitely shut across the UK where a third stringent nationwide lockdown is in effect. For instance, around 65 percent of theatres remain closed in the US (including the major metropolitan hubs of New York and Los Angeles). Of course, whether any of this goes according to plan depends on how the COVID-19 situation fares locally. In the UK, Ireland, and Japan, Tom & Jerry is due March 19. Argentina, Czechia, Croatia, and Portugal follow on March 4, with Spain and France release set for March 5. Russia and Slovakia will follow on February 25, before Tom & Jerry arrives in the US on February 26. India is among the next wave of markets on February 19, alongside Iceland and Lithuania. Tom & Jerry premieres February 10 in Netherlands, followed by Brazil and Singapore on February 11. However, India won't be the first market to catch the big-screen return of the iconic cat and mouse duo.

In India, the hybrid live-action/ animated Tom and Jerry movie will be available in English (the original language), in addition to three local-language dubs: Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu. That puts the Indian release date a week prior to the US, where Tom & Jerry releases February 26 on (US-exclusive streaming service) HBO Max and in cinemas.

India revealed the new release date on Thursday via its social media channels. Tom & Jerry will now release February 19 in cinemas in India, a full week earlier than originally announced.
