Not sure if that's a typo, but apparently the US cinema release is *13*
months after it was released in China last year.

"When legendary rivals Tom and Jerry collide during a
high-speed chase through New York's Metropolitan Museum,
they unleash a mythical compass, opening a vortex that
hurls them into an ancient, dazzling metropolis lost in
time," reads the movie's official synopsis. "Dropped
into this dangerous world, Jerry is pulled into the orbit
of a cunning crime lord while Tom is mistaken for a
divine messenger. To survive, Tom and Jerry must outsmart
their enemies and finally work together to make it home."

When is the release date for Tom and Jerry: Forbidden Compass?
Following its theatrical debut in China in August 2025,
Tom and Jerry: Forbidden Compass will finally arrive in U.S.
theaters on September 9, 2026, pitting it against no direct
competition at the box office. However, it will still be
debuting in the same month as high-profile movies like Alan
Ritchson's Runner, Sandra Bullock's Practical Magic 2, Zach
Cregger's Resident Evil, Aardman Animation's new Shaun the
Sheep movie, and Universal Pictures' Forgotten Island.

The upcoming animated movie is written and directed by Gang
Zhang, based on the iconic characters from Hanna-Barbera. The
PG-rated film is produced by Chen Bofei, Ruoqing Fu, Jasmine
Gao, Shaojing Yang, and Huixia Zhang. Warner Bros. China
appointed Beijing-based Blossoms Entertainment to develop and
oversee sales for the film. It currently has a total runtime
of 94 minutes.
