'Cats' Opening Weekend Box Office Numbers Revealed!

Cats has certainly been making headlines with critical reviews, but has it been making a big impact at the box office?

The film adaptation of the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical opened to $6.5 million in its first weekend at the box office, according to Deadline on Sunday (December 22).

The estimated total comes in below its projected $10-$15 million opening.

The film currently commands a C+ CinemaScore, and a 19% rating at Rotten Tomatoes.

“While VFX were improved following the social media backlash to the 100M-plus viewed trailer back in July, the whole notion of dancing actor-felines continued to divide, if not freak out audiences. I hear that even Cats EP Steven Spielberg didn’t get a chance to see a final cut of Cats given the pic’s down-to-the minute post production,” Deadline reported.
