Forget the box office Force not being as strong with Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker as The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi, it was a horrible weekend for Universal’s big holiday outing, Cats.
It appears the hilariously bizarre word of mouth wasn’t enough to garner enough audience interest (especially after truly dismal Cats reviews came out) to make the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical adaptation anything better than a box office disaster. In fact, Cats now ranks as one of the 20 worst opening weekends of a movie in wide-release at the United States domestic box office of all time.
