10 Delayed Movies That Will Land In 2021 And Still Bomb At The Box Office

10. Tom and Jerry

Tom and Jerry may have endured as two of the most beloved characters in the history of animation since making their first appearance way back in 1940, but it wouldn't be unfair to say that the iconic duo hold much cultural appeal with today's younger viewers.

The target audience seem more interested in cutting-edge technology and state-of-the-art visuals than a cartoon that their grandparents grew up watching, making next year's live-action/CGI hybrid an incredibly tough sell in what can often be an incredibly crowded marketplace for families to choose from.

Somewhat surprisingly, the movie will only mark Tom and Jerry's second theatrically-released movie, and their first in almost 30 years. That one bombed at the box office after scraping just $3.6m globally, and the presence of Tim Story behind the camera doesn't inspire much confidence in their latest outing being anything other than painfully mediocre, and it will likely suffer the same fate whether it was released in December as planned or not.
