They are friends with a local woman named Bea who spends her time painting pictures of the rabbits as well as the surrounding nature. Bea takes on a mother - like relationship with the rabbits due to the death of their mother and father. One day Peter is forced to leave his jacket in McGregor 's garden and goes back to retrieve it. McGregor spots and catches him, but suddenly dies of a heart attack, due to decades of unhealthy eating habits. Enthralled, Peter invites all of the woodland critters, and then takes over McGregor 's manor. Meanwhile in London, McGregor 's grandnephew Thomas McGregor, an uptight, controlling workaholic, works at the toy department of Harrods department store where he waits for a promotion to associate general manager. He indifferently accepts the news about his great - uncle 's death, someone he was completely unaware of, but is infuriated over losing the promotion to a lazy nephew of the managing director and is fired for losing his temper. His now former manager encourages him to to get a hobby and spend some time in the country. When Thomas learns that his great - uncle 's manor is valuable and that he 's inherited it, he decides to appraise and prepare it for resale in order to start his own toy store to rival Harrods. He kicks out Peter and his friends and begins to upgrade the security of the garden wall and gates, despite Bea 's objections. When Peter and Benjamin sneak back into the garden, Thomas catches the latter and attempts to drown Benjamin. His cousins rescue him ; Thomas instead accidentally drops the binoculars that Bea had given him earlier, forcing him into the river to retrieve it. Thomas and Peter start a war with each other by setting up traps and other offensive nuisances. Thomas and Bea end up falling in love with each other, which causes Peter to become jealous and wanting to separate them more. Thomas framed Peter for ruining Bea 's paintings and she sent Peter outside along with the other rabbits. Soon, Bea turns on Thomas when his violent tendencies begin to show. This all culminates when Thomas throws dynamite at Peter 's burrow, and uses it to attack Peter in the garden, before telling him that his antics caused him to become aggressive. When Peter detonates the dynamite to prove to Bea that Thomas was using it, he ends up knocking down the tree on top of the burrow, which crushes Bea 's art studio. Thinking that Thomas was responsible for the detonation, Bea breaks up with him, and he goes back to London to work at Harrods again. Peter feels bad for what he has done, and upon learning that Bea intends to leave the neighborhood, he and Benjamin head to London to find Thomas at Harrods. Revealing they can talk, Peter apologizes for his part of the conflict and convinces Thomas to follow his heart. They rush back to the country where Peter reveals that he had activated the detonator, and he and Thomas apologize to Bea for their fighting. Thomas discovers that he can not go home because a snobbish couple, whom Thomas had an ugly encounter with prior, had just bought the house. Peter and his friends use their tricks to force the couple out of the house, allowing Thomas to move back in. In a mid-credits scene, Thomas sets up his own toy shop in the village, and Bea begins to write and illustrate books based on Peter and his friends.

Trailer criticism The first trailer received negative feedback from critics and fans of the character, many of whom labelled the film as being too modern and insulting to Beatrix Potter 's works. Collider slammed the trailer as `` garbage '' and a `` low brow ' comedy ' cringe fest. '' Stuart Heritage from The Guardian stated that `` the Peter Rabbit film looks like the result of some blisteringly inept manhandling (... ) there 's something genuinely harrowing about the sight of Peter Rabbit -- gentle, Edwardian Peter Rabbit -- thoughtlessly injuring some birds, or grabbing a pile of lettuce leaves and making it rain like a banker in a strip club, or literally twerking '' and argued `` there is no way on Earth that ( Beatrix Potter would ) have ever given the green light to a slow motion car crash like this. '' Metro writer James Baldock found that the trailer was `` so gut wrenchingly bad '' and that `` if the movie lives up to its two minute preview -- ( it ) is set to be the greatest abomination to grace the big screen since The Emoji Movie. '' He finished by writing `` Listen carefully, and you can just about hear the sound of Beatrix Potter, turning furiously in her grave. '' On November 7, a new trailer for the United Kingdom was released. Home Media The film was released on digital platforms on April 20, 2018. A Blu - ray and DVD and 4K followed on May 1, 2018. Reception Box office As of May 28, 2018, Peter Rabbit has grossed $341.6 million worldwide, $115.1 million of that in the United States and Canada, against a production budget of $50 million. In the United States and Canada, the film was released alongside Fifty Shades Freed and The 15 : 17 to Paris, and was projected to gross around $16 million from 3,725 theaters in its opening weekend, with some estimates as high as $25 million. It ended up making $25 million over the weekend, finishing second at the box office behind Fifty Shades ( $38.8 million ).

Totals from other markets include China ( $26.5 million ), Australia ( $20.2 million ), France ( $12.3 million ) and Germany ( $12.1 million ). Critical response On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 62 % based on 125 reviews and an average rating of 5.8 / 10. The site 's critical consensus reads, `` Peter Rabbit updates Beatrix Potter 's classic characters with colorfully agreeable results that should entertain younger viewers while admittedly risking the wrath of purists. '' On Metacritic, the film has a score of 51 out of 100 based on 26 critics, indicating `` mixed or average reviews ''. Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of `` A − '' on an A+ to F scale. `` Allergy bullying '' controversy In the first week after the film 's release, groups in multiple countries criticized it for `` allergy bullying '' and called for an apology from Sony. The accusations focused on a scene where Thomas McGregor -- whose character has a known severe allergy to blackberries -- is pelted with the berries until one enters his mouth, causing him to enter anaphylactic shock and grab for his Epipen. In response, Sony published a statement saying `` We sincerely regret not being more aware and sensitive to this issue, and we truly apologise ''. Sequel Sony Pictures Animation is developing a sequel set to be released on February 7, 2020, with Gluck returning to write and direct the film.
