- Variety (@Variety) December 29, 2019

The movie starring Taylor Swift, JHud and Dame Judi Dench among others has so far only grossed $38M on a $90-100M budget and another $115 on marketing the movie.
It is not expected to hit $100M worldwide

This isn’t a joke: CATS was rushed

I just went yesterday and the hand was present as well in the version I saw.

[frejabehaerich]

like throughout the whole movie..? lmao

[cbluechicken]

Is Taylor even in the movie enough to be super associated with it? I could see stans trying to turn this into "Taylor flopping".

Also, that sucks the movie isn't even entertaining bad.

She was when there was a possibility of Oscar/GG/award nominations for Best Song.

i think majority of the cast is only in it 10 mins with the exception of JHud + the lead cat whose name I already forgot (sorry sis, I'm sure ur a great actress/person).

I mean I don't like Taylor but this ain't her movie. Tom Hooper should be getting the blame for this tbh.

It's mostly a meme at this point tbh. Stans started referring to Zooptopia as Shakira's Zootopia because of that one song and people just ran with it. It only became serious when the hive started referring to The Lion King as Beyoncé's The Lion King post ASIB-success, hoping it would do the same for Bey as ASIB did for Gaga.

"Shakira's Zootopia" was iconic.

This. Tom Hooper needs to be dragged for this. He’s a hack director.

Taylor Swift box office poison confirmed

In all seriousness though I love that this happened. It's refreshing to see that a movie like this even made it to theatres in an era where every filmmaking decision is planned out for maximum success. So many people have signed off on this movie for it to get to this point and I'm obsessed with how no one put a stop to it.

[euraylie]

Same!
And I’m kinda in awe and happy with the fact that a chance was taken on something so outlandish in this reboot age....if only it hadn’t been Cats of all things

[scriptedending]

Lol, yes!

[devourlove]

lmaoo true. maybe no one knew what the finished cut of the cgi would look like til it was done? that's the only way i could see so many people backing it
