Cats movie budget reddit Over the Christmas holiday in 2017, The Greatest Showman was initially labeled a box office slob when posting a first-weekend gross of $8.8 million. The following weekend, as kids and their parents began discovering the Hugh Jackman musical, the Fox pic saw a 76 percent uptick on its way to grossing $174.3 million domestically and $435 million globally. Two years later, Tom Hooper’s Cats has been banished to the litter box at the year-end box office despite a PG rating, the same as Greatest Showman, after being rejected by families. When Cats — which presently stands to lose at least $50 million to $75 million against a budget of roughly $100 million before marketing — debuted to a dismal $6.6 million over the Dec. 20-23 weekend, partners Universal, Steven Spielberg’s Amblin and Working Title remained hopeful that the pic would find its stride over the lucrative Christmas corridor. Such wasn’t the case. Cats fell to No. 8 over the long holiday frame (Wednesday through Sunday) with an estimated $8.8 million for a 10-day domestic total of $17.9 million. That includes $4.8 million for the weekend proper, a decline of 27 percent (almost every other title in the top 10 saw an uptick). Domestically, the film may top out at less than $45 million. And Cats can’t pin its hopes on the foreign box office, where it has grossed just $38.4 million to date. “It doesn’t feel like a family title despite the PG rating. This feels more like an art house musical,” says box office analyst Paul Dergarabedian of Comscore. Over the Dec. 27-29 weekend, younger kids represented 21 percent of the combined demos turning out to see Cats, according to Comscore’s and Screen Engine’s exit polling service PostTrak. That compared to a whopping 41 percent for Spies in Disguise, an under-the-radar animated pic from Fox/Disney that debuted Christmas Day and posted a five-day debut of $22.1 million. Frozen 2, which opened at Thanksgiving, also remained a big draw with the younger crowd. The animated Disney sequel grossed $16.5 million for the five-day holiday — more than triple Hooper’s star-studded, fur-laden extravaganza in its sophomore outing. Cats is also not clicking with older Broadway fans. According to PostTrak, 22 percent of the general audience buying tickets to see Cats this past weekend were 44 and older, including 11 percent over the age of 55. In stark contrast, 36 percent of ticket buyers to Sony’s Christmas Day offering Little Women were 44 and over, including 21 percent over the age of 55. “Certainly, the critics’ response was rough,” says Dergarabedian, noting Cats‘ current Rotten Tomatoes score of 18 percent. Cats became the ridicule of social media upon the debut of the first trailer earlier this year. And in mid-December, Hooper revealed that he barely finished the VFX-heavy film in time for the world premiere in New York City. The maelstrom continued when Universal sent an updated version to thousands of theaters with “improved visual effects” several days after Cats had officially opened.

After a couple of weeks in theaters, the film stands to lose a whopping $100 million for Universal, even after its unprecedented theatrical re-release that attempted to "fix" the terrifying-looking CGI cats, and the studio responded by quietly pulling the film's entire Oscar campaign before it even really began. Between its terrible box office performance and its low Rotten Tomatoes score, it's clear that audiences and critics alike really don't care for Cats, and it's not hard to see why this project was dead on arrival. But what exactly went wrong with this Broadway-sensation-turned-box-office-bomb? A Reddit thread populated by alleged VFX technicians for the film reveals what happened — and apparently we can place blame on impossible deadlines, unrealistic CGI demands, and poor decisions by Hooper. Shortly after Cats hit theaters, Universal pulled a stunning move when it announced that the film had to be re-released due to very obvious CGI blunders – like the generally unsettling look of human faces pasted on digital cat bodies, and the shot of a clearly visible wedding ring on the very human hand of Dame Judi Dench's cat, Old Deuteronomy. That particular mistake was publicized by Variety's Jenelle Riley, who wrote on Twitter, "This isn't a joke: CATS was rushed into theaters before being finished so a new version is being sent to theaters with updated effects. How do you know if you have the old version? Look for Judi Dench's human hand, wedding ring and all." Riley is correct: Cats was rushed quickly into theaters, leaving Hooper to finish the original cut just before its premiere, and clearly, an impossibly fast turnaround just wasn't doable. On the Reddit thread, users who reportedly worked on Cats relayed stories from behind the scenes, claiming that Hooper collaborated with a new VFX firm called MPC Technicolor in the wake of Cats' highly unpopular full-length trailer to improve the film's visuals. It's understandable that the VFX specialists behind Cats couldn't make things perfect under a tight deadline (the latest trailer dropped in November 2019, one month before Cats was due out in theaters), and one user on the thread said that Hooper should be the one to blame for a "lack of realistic requests." According to another user, "Often cats were missing layers, lights, and cryptos were unusably broken. But you couldn't ask for a rerender unless there was something egregious like a whole cat missing. The show was one uphill battle for every artist and sup[ervisor] involved, with a client that could only identify what they don't like and not offer any clues as to how to get to what they did like. We did what we could." Despite these reported best efforts from MPC Technicolor and original VFX firm Mill Film, Cats looks completely bizarre: the size of the cats is wildly inconsistent, and the cat-human hybrids on screen are pretty terrifying. However, these weren't the only problems with Cats, a movie that seems to have no real reason to exist. Adapted into a stage play by Andrew Lloyd Webber from avant-garde poems written by T.S. Eliot, Cats tells the alarmingly nonsensical "story" of a group of London street cats vying for the right to ascend to the "Heaviside Layer" and be reborn. If you think the idea of a bunch of singing cats fighting over which one of them will get to die at the end is weird, Cats only gets weirder from there. Alongside the film's audience surrogate, a kitten named Victoria (newcomer Francesca Hayward) meets the whole group — including Old Deuteronomy, "Memory" songstress and outcast Grizabella (Jennifer Hudson), the sinister Macavity (Idris Elba), the awkwardly sultry Rum Tum Tugger (Jason Derulo), and more, simply introducing new cats every five minutes rather than forming any sort of real narrative. Eventually, the whole thing fizzles out as Grizabella is chosen to turn to the Heaviside Layer, leaving stunned audiences wondering what they just watched. Filled with disturbing sequences – including one where Rebel Wilson's Jennyanydots unzips her cat skin to reveal an identical one underneath, and follows that up by eating screaming cockroaches with human faces on them – Cats is laughable at best and deeply upsetting at worst. In the end, though, it seems as if the VFX teams weren't totally at fault for the unsettling end result. If the anonymous members of the Cats VFX team are to be believed, the real issues rested in purportedly over-the-top requests that would take months to complete. But even if Cats was a visual masterpiece, it may still have bombed at the box office due to its inherently strange nature. I have never seen the musical and therefore don't know much about it. But in my life I have never seen so much criticism or near hatred for something I presume is a remake of a popular musical. Is it that people love the musical so much that nothing could be done to please them?I have only bore witness to the Phantom of the Opera saga which had people in an uproar but it was nothing like Cats.Would anyone care to take the time to explain to me why a movie made after a musical has turned people into tortured souls?Thanks in advance.I added a URL for the trailer which looked like a horrible Avatar (required for post). 2 669 comments I'm going to be housesitting for my brother for a week and hanging out with his cat, Gandalf. He (the cat) kind of keeps to himself but he'll sit with you and my brother's usually busy with the puppy so he (still the cat) doesn't get much love. I need him (still the cat) to know how much people love cats so what would be the best cat movies to show him?Page 2 40 comments youtu.be/FtSd84...Page 2youtu.be/FtSd84... boxofficemojo.com/title/...Page 2boxofficemojo.com/title/...
